Abstract :
Summary form only given. The nuclear safety aspects of IGNITEX were analyzed and compared with the nuclear safety hazards of a 1-MW, fission-research reactor facility. Based on possible accident scenarios for the proposed fusion ignition research facility and on the results of the comparison, an analysis of siting considerations for IGNITEX was performed. The atmospheric dispersion of released fusion-fuel tritium gas in worst-case accident scenarios for IGNITEX was investigated. Attention was given to total inventory of radioactive materials, routine and accidental releases of liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents, waste disposal, and decommissioning
