This part of the ORNL EPR composite report documents last year's design effort in the magnet systems. The discussion covers both the toroidal field (TF) coil system and the poloidal field (PF) coil system. Consideration of coil support structure, cryogenic requirements, and power supplies is included. Particular attention is also paid to the protection scheme of both TF and PF coils. The conductor design is based on forced-flow supercritical helium-cooled cable in conduits. A hybrid system is proposed for the TF coil system. It uses Nb/sub 3/Sn in the high field region for a designed maximum field of 11 T, and NbTi in the low field region. Conductor stability analysis in the forced-flow scheme is discussed. Coil connection options to obtain desirable current and voltage ratings in PF coils are described. The refined design in the magnet systems is more self-consistent in every respect.
