Abstract
Sensitivity studies were performed to estimate the maximum panel strength and the minimum opening area between functional zones in the ITER reactor building to prevent pressures and pressure differentials between these zones from exceeding their preliminary target values (30 kPa(g) for peak pressure and 15 kPa(d) for pressure differential). In these studies, containment consists of: the area filled with helium gas, the area filled with nitrogen gas, the area serviced by the Recirculating Air Detritiation System and areas containing the primary heat transport system heat exchangers. The analysis was performed for two possible break locations: the area filled by nitrogen gas and one of the two areas containing the primary cooling system heat exchangers. Based on the results presented in this study, a minimum opening area of 10 m{sup 2} between these nodes and a maximum panel strength of 12.5 kPa(d) are recommended.
