“…By US DOE direction, fusion facility workers shall be protected such that the risks to which they are exposed at a fusion facility are no greater than those to which they would be exposed at a comparable industrial facility, and risks to workers shall be maintained as low as reasonably achievable [22]. Some initial steps in worker safety assessment were to construct a logic diagram for the safety of personnel in fusion facilities [23], and a method called the Worker Exposure Failure Modes and Effects Analysis has been developed to assess the risks of component failures that could endanger personnel by exposure to released energies or hazardous materials [24]. An initial quantification of worker injury rates in fusion and accelerators has been performed [25].…”

The US Fusion Program has long recognized that the safety and environmental (S&E) potential of fusion can be attained by prudent materials selection, judicious design choices and integration of safety requirements into the design of the facility. To achieve this goal, S&E research is focused on understanding the behaviour of the largest sources of radioactive and hazardous materials in a fusion facility, understanding how energy sources in a fusion facility could mobilize those materials, developing integrated state-of-the-art S&E computer codes and risk tools for safety assessment and evaluating S&E issues associated with current fusion designs. In this paper, recent accomplishments are reviewed and future directions outlined.
