Description

A scenario to ensure the safety of the Fusion Experimental Reactor (FER) is proposed. The safety features of a fusion reactor are given and their impacts on the safety design are shown. The requirements in the design of major components of FER to achieve safety and the safety evaluation process are described. The results of the evaluation showed that even in the event of the maximum credible accidents, the radiological consequence to the public can be held at an acceptable level. The applicability to FER of various aspects of the regulations for facilities treating large amounts of radioisotopes is discussed with a positive conclusion. (author). 11 refs, 1 fig
