Abstract
This document contains failure rate screening data for application to fusion components. The screening values are generally fission or aerospace industry failure rate estimates that can be extrapolated for use by fusion system designers, reliability engineers and risk analysts. Failure rate estimates for tritium-bearing systems, liquid metal-cooled systems, gas-cooled systems, water-cooled systems, vacuum systems, plasma heating systems, and containment systems are given. Preliminary system availabilities, system level failure rate estimates, and selected initiating event frequency estimates are presented. This second edition document is even more valuable to design and safety analysis for the Compact Ignition Tokamak and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. 23 refs., 31 tabs.Keywords
