Safety analysis for ITER licensing

The Generic Site Safety Report (GSSR) was part of the ITER Final Design Report issued in July 2001. Changes in implementation of confinement and other design changes from the 2001 design necessitate an update of safety analyses for regulatory submissions. Discussions in preparation for site selection and initial informal regulatory discussions suggested that a more transparent approach was needed for the selection of events to be presented. In addition, a minimum set of such events necessary to demonstrate the safety case should be presented. The development and application of an approach to event selection to these requirements led to the selection of 10 events needing updating. Preliminary results indicate that the updated safety analysis for ITER licensing will continue to show an acceptable (and improving) level of safety.
