Uranium storage bed accidents hazards evaluation

To properly assess the hazards and risks associated with using uranium beds as tritium storage devices in fusion reactor systems, it is necessary to understand the consequences that would occur in the event of an accident. Accidents involving uranium beds are postulated, and the possible results are considered. A research program aimed at more fully and accurately understanding those results has been initiated jointly by the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and Ontario Hydro. The plan and objectives of that program are presented
