Summary
A cryopump, similar to the design of those for TFTR, has been constructed for the purposes of investigating beam compatibility and possible radiation-induced outgassing. In connection with the latter objective, the process of securing approval for a fission-reactor experiment, brought to light two significant safety problems. The first concerns the possibility of deuterium combustion during a leak-up-to-air accident. From literature data and from experiments conducted by us, we are convinced that there is no hazard in this regard. The second problem concerns the possibility of condensing significant amounts of liquid oxygen in such accidents, and we are presently unable to estimate the resulting hazard.
