Abstract
The engineering design of an ignition scale fusion reactor is underway with worldwide participation. The project is located at three sites & carried out by people seconded as Joint Central Team members. Technic al support is provided by four Home Teams. The superconducting coils f or the system will require about 1600 tonnes of Nb3Sn strand and will be the largest ever built. The features of the magnet designs and of t he R&D program that is underway are described.
