Description

Ignitor is a proposed high-magnetic field tokamak aimed at studying plasma burning conditions in Deuterium-Tritium plasmas. A preliminary safety analysis has been started to assess the machine safety. Environmental Source Terms (EST), i.e., radioactive and energy inventories have been evaluated. Probabilistic safety assessment, deterministic evaluation of envelope accidental sequences and evaluation of doses to the public have been carried out. The main result is that even the consequences of the worst release scenario are well below the maximum allowable levels. (orig.)
