Resumen
Health physics aspects associated with operation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) are investigated. ITER has health physics elements in common with existing facilities as well as unique features. Fusion facility neutron radiation is similar to that encountered in a low energy accelerator. The tritium hazard has radiation protection issues in common with the Canadian Deuterium reactor. Completion of the final ITER design, its performance characteristics, component lifetimes, and maintenance requirements will determine the actual health physics hazards.
