Title: Extrapolation to a demonstration reactor from the ITER and advanced physics and materials data bases. Demo and commercial fusion reactors extrapolated from the ITER and advanced physics and materials data bases. Radioactive waste produced by demo and commercial fusion reactors extrapolated from ITER and advanced data bases

The report contains 2 papers. In the first paper, the characteristics of demonstration (DEMO) reactors that could be conservatively extrapolated from the data base that will be provided by ITER and its supporting R D and from a data base supplemented by advanced physics and advanced materials R D programs are identified. In the second paper, the radioactive wastes that would be produced in demonstration (DEMO) and commercial (CFR) fusion reactors which could be extrapolated from the design data base that will be provided by ITER and its supporting R D and from a design data base supplemented by advanced physics and advanced materials R D programs are identified and characterized in terms of a number of possible criteria for near-surface burial. The results indicate that there is a possibility that all fusion wastes could satisfy a low level' waste criterion for near-surface' burial.
