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
Résumé
Les particules générées dans le Tokamak ITER peuvent contenir du tritium. Les coefficients de doses habituellement utilises pour évaluer les doses résultant de l’inhalation concernent les formes moléculaires, aqueuses ou organiques ne paraissent pas adaptées aux poussières tritiées. Ce texte fait état d’une étude bibliographique sur le sujet et tire les conséquences de l’émission de poussières tritiées pour la radioprotection des travailleurs d’ITER et des populations environnantes.
