This report covers the FY 83 effort of the GA 12 Tesla Coil Development Program. During the course of this six-year program, Team One (GA/MCA/University of Wisconsin) has developed a generic concept for a 10 to 12 tesla tokamak toroidal field coil system, employing cabled NbTi/Cu conductor, bath-cooled with superfluid helium at 1.8 K. Following a conductor development effort (FY 79, 80), a 40-cm bore coil/cryostat unit was constructed, using conductor/support/cooling features prototypical of those envisioned for full-scale TF-coils. This was delivered to LLNL in September 1983, for testing within the LLNL High Field Test Facility (TFTF) during FY 84. This report describes the test coil, and its fabrication. Included are facsimiles of the fabrication drawings, and procedures for testing in the LLNL HFTF.
