The U.S. Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects
There is a critical knowledge gap regarding the health consequences of exposure to radiation received gradually over time. While there is a plethora of studies on the risks of adverse outcomes from both acute and high-dose exposures, including the landmark study of atomic bomb survivors, these are not characteristic of the chronic exposure to low-dose radiation encountered in occupational and public settings. In addition, smaller cohorts have limited numbers leading to reduced statistical power.

A double-walled steam generator is used in the fusion power cycle to replace the intermediate loop. This will save the cost associated with a complicated system and the associated temperature degradation. The mechanical design of the steam generator is similar to that proposed for LMFBR application. The heat transfer and tritium diffusion calculations are performed. The double-walled steam generator provides a tritium diffusion barrier factor > 105 while increasing the surface area by 25% compared to a singlewalled steam generator.
