Abstract

Dust particles generated in the ITER Tokamak may include some tritium. The coefficients derived to evaluate the doses resulting from the inhalation of the usual forms of tritium (gaseous, tritiated water, organic form) are not adequate for tritiated dust. This paper is a short literature study about the assessment of tritiated dust dose coefficients and their significance in worker, population and environmental protection for ITER
