Title: Preliminary Failure Modes and Effects Analysis of the US DCLL Test Blanket Module

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/918191· OSTI ID:918191

This report presents the results of a preliminary failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) of a small tritium-breeding test blanket module design for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The FMEA was quantified with “generic” component failure rate data, and the failure events are binned into postulated initiating event families and frequency categories for safety assessment. An appendix to this report contains repair time data to support an occupational radiation exposure assessment for test blanket module maintenance.
