A critical review and comparison of power reactor blankets from nuclear
technology and socio-economic aspects
Contents - Broader “Externality” aspect - Tritium release to the environment - Waste strategy - Fuel supply - Deployment to hydrogen market
7th International Symposium on Fusion Nuclear Technology
Special Thanks to Kunihiko Okano, Yusuke Ichimasa and Kenji Tobita
・ Future energy will be evaluated by social preference.・ Such evaluation will consider all the possible impacts and effects to future society and environment.

Fusion will be evaluated - what it consumes - what it exhausts - what it generates , and - what it leaves
Blanket is the keyFor Socio-economicFeature of fusion
Economy
- Energy sales is not the only outcome of the research. →”Externality” ; economical effect out of the market
HowHow fusion will benefit public? fusion will benefit public?
・ Impact by various pathways -outside of energy market
- estimated with economical value (monetary term) environmental negative : pollution, global warming environmental positive : recycling, cleaning, reduced emission social negative : nuclear proliferation, terrorism, fear of risk social positive : security, backstop, technology

・ All the risks and benefits・ evaluated from the viewpoint of sponsor・ market sales is only a part・ cost is not a good measure but cost affects the market share

・ various sponsors provide funding・ different purpose, different phase of development・ investment for research is a certain fraction of total sales →investment must yield benefit to sponsors

Variety of fission reactors developed
Generations of blankets fit different phases- Fusion has multiple generations with single plasma
1) Technically possible. (liquid metal)2) Governments policy and social preferences. (graphite, heavy water)3) Market selection. (light water reactor)

Impact of radioactive emission
Tritium released fromthe facility diffusesbut not disappear.
According to the LNThypothesis by ICRP,detriment increaseswith distance.
Normal release accumulates in the environment.
Dose is negligible compared with natural radiation, but detectable in environment, foods and drinking water.Same thing happens with C-14 and worse.
