Abstract

The radioactive waste Ingestion Toxic Potential IT for neutron activation produced radionuclides (Starfire conditions) has been calculated up to 106 years' decay time for several LAM materials assumed to be potentially used in a fusion reactor. The results have been compared with the IT calculated for toxic heavy metals contained in the burnt coal or fuel oil of thermal power plants. The use of LAM gives a lower waste environmental impact than coal power plants and, after 2–5 years' decay time, than fuel oil thermal power plants.
