Human-Machine-Environment Engineering Framework for Nuclear Safety Management of Chinese Future Fusion Reactor
摘要
Nuclear fusion represents a promising solution to meet the increasing global energy demand. While it offers inherent safety advantages over nuclear fission, significant challenges persist regarding personal safety, reactor integrity, and environmental protection, particularly concerning tritium and neutron activation products. This study employs the Human-Machine-Environment Engineering (HMEE) framework to conduct a comprehensive safety management analysis for the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). By integrating safety objectives from both a horizontal “whole-system” perspective and a vertical “whole-life” perspective, the management approach evaluates the safety characteristics of human operators, the fusion reactor, and the surrounding environment. It also examines their combined influence on system engineering, ultimately establishing an optimized nuclear safety strategy for CFETR.
