A comprehensive assessment of the off-site radiological impact of the operation of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) is made. This includes a review of the dose levels from skyshine for the case with no igloo shield around the tokamak, and from the release of radionuclides due to air activation products. The dispersion analysis is based on local on-site meteorological data that have recently become available. The results show that the original design guidelines of < 10 mrem off-site dose from all sources can be met with a total neutron production of < 1.5 x 10/sup 19/ deuterium-tritium (D-T) neutrons, or 4.0 x 10/sup 19/ deuterium-deuterium neutrons.
