ITER project and its superconducting coils

Yoshida, Kiyoshi

The design and development of the International Thermonuclear Experiment Reactor (ITER) has been performed since 1992 based on the international agreement of the Engineering Design Activities (EDA). The design of the main machine and the development of key components were successfully completed by July 2001. The technical specifications of ITER machine are being prepared for the order of its fabrications on the Co-ordinate Technical Activities (CTA). The construction of ITER is expected to start by 2005. The ITER machine uses the superconducting coils to confine and shaped the plasma. The superconducting coil system must be reliability operated to perform the plasma experiment. The superconducting coil system needs 28 % of the direct capital costs and long manufacturing period (6 years and 6 months). A strand for the superconducting conductor is the first procurement component in the ITER. This paper explains the present design and status of the ITER project and its superconducting coils.
