The production of waste from operation and decommissioning of future fusion
power plant models will depend on the plant model design and the operation
conditions. Studies on waste from different fusion power plant model desig
ns have been performed at Studsvik RadWaste AB in Sweden as part of the Eur
opean fusion safety program 'Safety and Environmental Assessment of Fusion
Power' (SEAFP-2 and SEAFP 99). Six different plant model designs were consi
dered in the studies, PM 1-6. The main part of activated material can possi
bly be cleared or recycled internally after intermediate storage. However,
if existing clearance limits in different countries are applied, most of th
e waste has to be disposed of in repositories. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.
