Inventories, release amount, and resulting site boundary dose are evaluated for the possible activation products effluents from ITER. They are activated corrosion products in the cooling water of the primary cooling system, activation of the cooling water itself, the air or inert gas surrounding penetration ducts, high voltage insulating gas for the neutral beam injector, and activated dust in the plasma chamber. The site boundary dose for the public due to the atmospheric effluents of activation products is evaluated to be ∼2 μSv/a which is well below the ITER design target of 50 μSv/a for the sum of tritium and activation products atmospheric effluents.
