Abstract

Fusion research poses significant radiation hazards, including prompt as well as delayed exposures. Prompt radiation consists of deeply penetrating neutrons and gamma rays, whereas delayed exposure derives from nuclear decays that were previously activated by neutrons. The PF-1000 plasma focus device, a dense magnetized plasma generator, is a source of all of these radiation hazards. The aim here is to assess the delayed radiation hazard of the PF-1000 device to the operational crew and research scientists.
