Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the safety related operating feedback taken into account in the ITER baseline design, and of the previously completed and ongoing Research and Development (R&D) activities in support of ITER safety analyses. Operating feedback relevant to ITER mostly comes from previous and currently existing fusion devices, and from the operation of tritium laboratories. Regarding the safety related R&D, since the early times of the ITER project, an extensive program has been devoted to understanding the issues, gathering data on source terms, modeling underlying phenomena, and developing analytical tools for safety analysis.
