T. Isono et al., DEVELOPMENT OF FULL-SCALE CONDUCTORS FOR THE ITER CENTRAL SOLENOID SCALABLE MODEL COILS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(4), 1994, pp. 2046-2049
Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute(JAERI) has been developing 13-T
, 40-kA conductors for the ITER Central Solenoid Scalable Model Coil.
The conductors are composed of high performance (NbTi)3Sn strands and
titanium conduit. In this development work, 15-km length strand fabric
ation from a 100-kg billet, chrome plating, cabling of 675 or 768 stra
nds, jacketing of titanium conduit, and so on were conducted by two ma
ss production lines. In this paper, several test results are reported
such as critical current measurements of full-scale conductors and AC
loss measurements of sub-scale conductors.
