Abstract

A set of ITER reference accident sequences is analyzed to determine if the ITER design has sufficient provisions to withstand these sequences without violating project safety and environmental criteria. These reference sequences have been selected as a result of a systematic sequence identification and screening process. A large family of accidents is grouped around the ITER cooling systems. Failures in the magnet system and tritium plant are investigated to demonstrate the adequacy of confinement
