Abstract
The paper discusses some aspects of the safety analysis currently being performed for a compact high-field tokamak device (IGNITOR). The analysis has shown that the radioactive releases from the last containment barrier that could occur during major accidents are negligible when comparing IGNITOR with similar fusion devices. The paper focuses on some of the design solutions, suggested by the analysis, in order to improve the overall plant availability
