Existing superconducting (SC) systems are shown to be inadequate for predicting successful performance of fusion magnets, since they have simpler geometry, much smaller size and simpler safety systems, less complex loading conditions and cyclical variations in loads, and are not exposed to radiation. Even so, a number of mechanical and electrical failures have occurred in existing magnet systems. Using the UWMAK and various EPR SC magnet designs as starting points, a number of potential safety and reliability problems are analyzed for future Tokamak TF coil systems. The voltage withstand capability of TF coils appears to be only a few hundred volts during quenches because of release of H2 from organic glues and insulators to form Penning mixtures with helium, ionization of He by gamma rays, and use of equipotential magnet structures.

Potential safety systems are examined for superconducting magnets in fusion power reactors. Because of current and voltage limitations, energy removal systems do not appear practical for dumping significant amounts of energy external to the magnet for designs currently envisioned. Some type of Temperature Equalization System appears necessary to minimize temperature inhomogeneities if energy is dumped internally during a quench or other accident situation since inhomogeneities may cause electrical breakdown and/or structural damage. Large detection nets appear necessary to detect potential ''hot spots'' before they can damage the magnet. Qualitative fault/event trees have been developed for some potential accident pathways; however, many years will be required before quantitative risk assessment studies can be made.

The results of a two year study on magnet safety as it applies to Magnetic Fusion Energy Reactors and influences current program planning and experimental magnet design are presented in this summary report. Existing experience with superconducting magnet design and operation has been reviewed with the help of many active workers in this field and related to general reactor safety studies and techniques using the vast body of work generated in fission reactor safety programs as an illustrative reference base. A principal conclusion is that the inclusion of safety planning and design as a program component even at this early stage in Magnetic Fusion Reactor Development will save a great deal of money, time and design readjustment in the total thirty year program now envisaged.
