The radiological risk profiles of a variety of fusion fuels were assessed, to aid understanding of the influence of fuel choice on the safety and cost of future commercial fusion power plants. Shielding thickness and activation dose rates were modeled for five fusion fuels consisting of Deuterium-Tritium, Deuterium-Deuterium, Deuterium-Helium 3, Deuterium-Lithium 6, and Hydrogen-Boron 11. Simplistic shielding and activation models were carried out in standardized 500MW reactors.
