Title: DC CICC retrofit magnet preliminary design, protection analysis, and software development. Final report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10175503· OSTI ID:10175503

The MIT Plasma Fusion Center magnet technology development effort, in support of the DOE/PETC MHD program, has culminated in two recent innovations which, when combined, will not only improve the reliability of commercial scale MHD magnets but will also reduce their cost by a factor of two. The first of these is a new form of Cable In Conduit Conductor (CICC) designed specifically for large scale DC superconducting magnets and the second is a highly efficient, quasi-momentless force containment which is made possible by the new conductor.
