Japan Atomic Energy Agency starts the procurement of ITER-TF coils from this year. ITER-TF coils are three times larger than TF model coil (TFMC), which is developed in ITER-EDA. From result of development of TFMC, the basic fabrication technique has been demonstrated. However, new technical issue has generated due to the scale-up from TFMC. In order to solve the issue, high accurate D-shaped winding technique, impregnation test using high radiation-resistant resin and cover-plate welding and deformation evaluation have been performed. In this presentation, these results of the fabrications and the tests are reported.
