MELCOR analysis of helium/water/air ingress into ITER cryostat and vacuum vessel
Description
This accident is postulated starting with two large holes respectively on vacuum vessel and cryostat simultaneously with water and helium cooling pipe breaks. One base case, eight parameter studies and one 'very conservative case' are studied by MELCOR. The analysis results showed that the cryostat and vacuum vessel pressures for this accident remain below the design limits of 200 kPa. The consequential radioactive releases of tritium and W dust stay well below the no-evacuation limits, which are 90 g of tritium and 16 kg of W dust. (author)
