Ignitor is a compact high-magnetic field experiment aimed at studying plasma burning conditions in Deuterium-Tritium plasmas up to ignition.

Abstract

Ignitor is a compact high-magnetic field experiment aimed at studying plasma burning conditions in Deuterium-Tritium plasmas up to ignition. The ENEL-TERNA center in Rondissone (Italy) has been selected for its localisation. The main positive features of this site are the presence of electrical facilities because of the distribution node of Rondissone, the availability of the main office building and of the space for the construction of the Ignitor machine. Available data concerning the nearby nuclear site of Saluggia, only five kilometers away, are in fact used. The non-site dependent accidental analysis of Ignitor has been recently reviewed. New design of the Tritium Handling System has reduced tritium inventory in Ignitor to about 3 g. Then, many of the environmental source terms considered in previous accidental analyses are reduced. Design Basis Accidents (DBA) bring to maximum doses for the public below 1 mSv, and collective doses cause negligible health effects. All the assessments show that Ignitor can be effectively located in the ENEL-TERNA site, satisfying environmental and safety requirements.
