A systematic approach to neutronics and activation calculations is conceived for the ITER design and safety analysis. Specifications of these calculations are described. Results relevant to the activation characteristics of a shielding blanket based ITER are discussed. Possible options to reduce the decay heat and long-term radioactivities are revealed.
