Title: United States Research and Development effort on ITER magnet tasks

Abstract

This study presents the status of research and development (R&D) magnet tasks that are being performed in support of the U.S. ITER Project Office (USIPO) commitment to provide a central solenoid assembly and toroidal field conductor for the ITER machine to be constructed in Cadarache, France. The following development tasks are presented: winding development, inlets and outlets development, internal and bus joints development and testing, insulation development and qualification, vacuum-pressure impregnation, bus supports, and intermodule structure and materials characterization.

Numerical analysis of modified Central Solenoid insert design

Journal Article Khodak, Andrei ; Martovetsky, Nicolai ; Smirnov, Aleksandre ; ... - Fusion Engineering and Design

The United States ITER Project Office (USIPO) is responsible for fabrication of the Central Solenoid (CS) for ITER project. The ITER machine is currently under construction by seven parties in Cadarache, France. The CS Insert (CSI) project should provide a verification of the conductor performance in relevant conditions of temperature, field, currents and mechanical strain. The US IPO designed the CSI that will be tested at the Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) Test Facility at JAEA, Naka. To validate the modified design we performed three-dimensional numerical simulations using coupled solver for simultaneous structural, thermal and electromagnetic analysis.

Qualification of the Joints for the ITER Central Solenoid

Conference Martovetsky, N ; Berryhill, A ; Kenney, S

The ITER Central Solenoid has 36 interpancake joints, 12 bus joints, and 12 feeder joints in the magnet. The joints are required to have resistance below 4 nOhm at 45 kA at 4.5 K. The US ITER Project Office developed two different types of interpancake joints with some variations in details in order to find a better design, qualify the joints, and establish a fabrication process. We built and tested four samples of the sintered joints and two samples with butt-bonded joints (a total of eight joints). Both designs met the specifications. Results of the joint development, test results, andmore »« less

ITER Central Solenoid Module Fabrication

Conference Smith, John

The fabrication of the modules for the ITER Central Solenoid (CS) has started in a dedicated production facility located in Poway, California, USA. The necessary tools have been designed, built, installed, and tested in the facility to enable the start of production. The current schedule has first module fabrication completed in 2017, followed by testing and subsequent shipment to ITER. The Central Solenoid is a key component of the ITER tokamak providing the inductive voltage to initiate and sustain the plasma current and to position and shape the plasma. The design of the CS has been a collaborative effort betweenmore »« less

Cold Test Facility for the ITER Central Solenoid Coils

Conference Mann, Jr, Thomas Latta ; Martovetsky, Nicolai N ; Hatfield, Daniel R ; ...

The United States, along with the European Union, Russia, Japan, China. South Korea and India, is a collaborative partner in the design, construction and operation of the ITER International Tokamak which will be located a Cadarache, France. One component of the US in kind contribution to the project is the Central Solenoid System for the tokamak magnet system. The Central Solenoid System is a massive assembly 4.4 meters outside diameter, 18.8 meters high and weighing ~ 1,000 tons. Operating conditions (not simultaneous) are 45kA and 13 T with a maximum field ramp rate of 1.3 T/s producing a maximum fluxmore »« less
