[en] This paper presents analysis of the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) to determine the adequacy of the safety design features to meet the proposed safety design objectives. Since the goal of the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) is to achieve an ignited plasma, tritium will be used in fueling and sufficient neutrons will be produced to activate nearby gases. As a result of safety considerations related to accidental release of tritium or activated gases, several safety features have been incorporated into the design. In developing safety features, design objectives limiting public exposure were proposed based on the estimated probability of occurrence. To meet these objectives, safety features have been proposed that emphasize an inherent/passive approach. By employing risk analysis techniques such as event trees that describe accident scenarios, the adequacy of these features has been evaluated and, when appropriate, the design was modified to meet design objectives. This process will continue through the design phase. 4 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs
