Abstract
The superconducting coil systems for the International Thermonuclear T est Reactor (ITER) will consist of 24 toroidal Field (TF) coils at 488 tonnes each, a central solenoid (CS) at 964 tonnes, and an external p oloidal field coil set of 6 coils, the largest of which has a diameter of 30 m. The TF and CS coils will operate at a maximum field at the w indings of 13 T an will use Nb3Sn conductor in cable-in-conduit form. The TF coils and the CS are layer wound. The design features of each o f these systems are described.
