- Summary:
- In any deuterium-tritium burning fusion reactor there are several safety and environmental issues that must be addressed. The major issues involve: (1) use of tritium in the fuel cycle, (2) activation of structural materials, corrosion products in fluid streams, and reactor hall environment by high-energy neutrons, (3) the requirement for use of lithium to breed tritium and the attendant fire potential, and (4) the handling and disposal of radioactive waste. Also, a major concern with the magnetic systems is the presence of large superconducting magnets and magnetic fields and their potential effects on personnel, structures, and equipment. Each of these issues is discussed.
