Health Physics Considerations for the ITER
نویسنده
چکیده
Health physics aspects associated with operation of the ITER are investigated. ITER has health physics elements in common with existing facilities as well as unique features. Fusion facility neutron radiation is similar to that encountered in a low energy accelerator. The tritium hazard has radiation protection issues in common with the Canadian Deuterium reactor. Completion of the final ITER design, its performance characteristics, component lifetimes, and maintenance requirements will determine the actual health physics hazards.

Prediction for disruption erosion of ITER plasma facing components; a comparison of experimental and numerical results
An evaluation is given for the prediction for disruption erosion in the International Thermonuclear Engineering Reactor (ITER). At first, a description is given of the relation between plasma operating parameters and system dimensions to the predictions of loading parameters of Plasma Facing Components (PFC) in off-normal events. Numerical results from ITER parties on the prediction of disrupti...
متن کاملDisruption Characterization and Database Activities for ITER
Disruption characterization and database development and analysis activities conducted for ITER under the aegis of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) Topical Group on MHD, Control and Disruption are described. Accomplishments during 2005-2006 include: (1) formation of an International Disruption Database (IDDB) Working Group, (2) implementation of an MDSplus-based IDDB infrastruc...
متن کاملDemonstration of ITER Operational Scenarios on DIII - D
The DIII-D program has recently initiated an effort to provide suitably scaled experimental evaluations of four primary ITER operational scenarios. New and unique features of this work are that the plasmas incorporate essential features of the ITER scenarios and anticipated operating characteristics; e.g., the plasma cross-section, aspect ratio and value of I/aB of the DIII-D discharges match t...
متن کاملThe Physics Basis of ITER Confinement
ITER will be the first fusion reactor and the 50 year old dream of fusion scientists will become reality. The quality of magnetic confinement will decide about the success of ITER, directly in the form of the confinement time and indirectly because it decides about the plasma parameters and the fluxes, which cross the separatrix and have to be handled externally by technical means. This lecture...
متن کاملPhysics of plasma control towards steady-state operation of ITER
ITER is a fusion experimental reactor to show scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy. It is designed to produce fusion power of 500MW for 300-500 seconds with fusion energy gain Q at least 10 (Q ≥10) [1], [2]. ITER should show scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy as one step to DEMO, which produces electricity by fusion energy. Although design of DEMO wil...
