2 Introduction Page 2 / Introduction 2. Basic idea for waste management scenario 3. Estimation of.. induced radioactivity, decay heat and dose rate 4. Provisional scenario of management for radioactive waste 5. Summary

3 Introduction Page 3 / 18 Waste management scenario has been considered for DEMO The scenario has a large impact on planning the facilities required for DEMO. Hot cell Waste storage A provisional management scenario of the radioactive waste has been proposed for DEMO

4 Basic idea for waste management scenario Page 4 / 18 Usually Waste management strategy of fusion reactors has been considered as an issue after decommissioning. Radioactive waste is also generated in every periodic replacement of invessel components.

5 Basic idea for waste management scenario Page 5 / 18

8 How to estimation for radioactive Page 8 / 18 The neutron energy spectrum calculated by MCNP-5 with 3D model based on the Boltzmann equation is used for calculating Radioactivity, decay heat and contact dose rate by THIDA-3 Future work The induced radioactivity of the components in the reactor calculated by THIDA-3 is used as an input to calculate the gamma-ray source for evaluating the dose map by using MCNP-5.

12 Decay heat for a fusion reactor Page 12 / 18 Table Decay heat immediately after the shutdown Fusion power 1.35 GW Time Stop 1 day 1 month Blanket Divertor Back plate Total MW The total decay heat is as high as MW and decreases to 2.00 MW one month later. A month after the shutdown, the total decay heat decreases to 5.5% of the initial one. Sector assembly

13 Radioactivity for a DEMO Page 13 / 18 W coating of blanket F82H first wall of blanket Long-lived radionuclide W coating of blanket (halftime: ) (halftime: 241 ) First wall of blanket (halftime: 5700 ) (halftime: 100 )

15 Page 15 / 18 Contact dose rate for a fusion reactor Sector assembly The disassembly of blanket and divertor is performed in the hot cell by advanced remote handling after temporary storage of about 1 years.

16 Hot cell and waste storage for a DEMO Page 16 / 18 Considering Hot cell and waste storage specific requirements Image To separate the each area To maintain negative pressure in the each area To manage the tritium and W dust To control the temperature of environment To perform everything of the maintenance in the remote handling (RH)

17 Provisional scenario of radioactive waste management for DEMO Page 17 / 18 Shallow land burial

18 Conclusions Page 18 / 18 As preparatory work for planning the plant facilities and functions required for radioactive waste that is generated in every periodic replacement of in-vessel components, a waste management scenario is under consideration. The assessment for an 8 m DEMO indicates the radioactive waste generated in every replacement is estimated to amount to about 6,000 tons. This result suggests the necessity of reducing the waste by recycling and reducing materials.
