Report of the interdepartmental ad hoc committee on INTOR in Canada.: ST51-152/1979E-PDF

"This report summarizes the findings of a federal interdepartmental study committee, convened and chaired by MOSST, to assist it in considering the merits of offering to host an international fusion project referred to as INTOR. The purpose of INTOR is to construct an engineering test reactor for fusion power based on the principle of plasma confinement by a toroidal magnetic field. The terms of reference for the study, as defined by the committee, involved an assessment of an initial minimum position -- a "base case" -- in which Canada would offer to provide a site and supporting services, including licensing and regulatory services. The findings of the committee indicate a modest economic benefit can be derived from having INTOR sited in Canada. A summary of these findings are presented in the final section of the report"--Introduction, page 1.
