Potential environmental effects of fusion power plants
Description
The potential environmental effects of the first commercial fusion power plants were estimated by use of standard environmental analysis procedures incorporating a high degree of speculation. The analytical procedure is presented. First a description was obtained for each of the ten fusion power plant concepts currently being developed. These concepts were then analyzed to determine the general characteristics and probable interactions with the environment. As a result of this analysis it was concluded that all concepts could be included within the envelope of a single reference design based upon the general nature of the fusion reaction, the reactor equipment, and the supporting systems
