The basic mission of this effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of, and establish an engineering data base for utilizing bath cooled NbTi alloy to generate a peak toroidal field of 12 tesla in a tokamak reactor. The FY-1980 effort has been concentrated upon four major tasks: completion of the conceptual design of an ETF reactor compatible TF-coil employing helium bath cooled NbTi alloy conductor, procurement of conductor for the coil to be tested at the LLNL HFTF during FY-1982, design of the test coil, and a series of relevant tests using the GA High Field Test Facility.
