Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：17.43(Nuclear Science & Technology)This paper presents dependence of the stress intensity factor, around the defect in the butt joint welding of a superconducting conductor conduit, on a geometrical factor estimated by fracture mechanics analysis. The stress intensity factor can be estimated by the Newman-Raju equation about CICC section, but the effect of the difference between the geometry assumed in the equation and CICC has not been clarified yet. Therefore, the three-dimensional finite element method (3D-FEM) is performed to estimate the geometrical factor. As a result, the Newman-Raju equation is considered to be available for the assessment of the fracture toughness of the conduit of rectangular shape because the maximum stress intensity factor by 3-D FEM is only 3% larger than that by the Newman-Raju equation in the maximum postulated defect.

JAERI has been developing a large-capacity high-temperature superconductor (HTS) current lead for fusion application, and succeeded in fabricating and testing a 60kA HTS current lead satisfying ITER requirements. Targets of performance are 1/10 heat leak and 1/3 electric power consumption of cryogenic system compared with a conventional lead. To achieve the target, selection of sheath material of HTS, optimizing the Cu part, reduction of joule heat at joint between HTS and Cu parts, improve of heat transfer between HTS and stainless steel tube. Developed 60kA HTS current lead satisfied the design condition and almost achieved the targets. Adoption of the HTS current lead can reduce 13% electric power consumption of cryogenic system for ITER.

A 60-kA high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) current lead has been fabricated and tested for aiming at the application to a fusion magnet system, providing a low heat leak current lead. The design of HTS current leads is optimized not only to reduce the heat leak but also to perform safe operation even in fault conditions. The HTS current lead consists of a forced flow cooled copper part and a conduction cooled HTS part. The HTS part is composed of 288 Ag-10at.%Au sheathed Bi-2223 tapes and they are cylindrically arrayed on a stainless steel tube. The diameter and the length of the HTS part are 146 mm and 300 mm, respectively. Operation of a 60 kA current, which is the world record, was successfully achieved at coolant of 20 K, 3.2 g/s for the copper part, and a low heat leak of 5.5 W at 4.2 K was demonstrated. This result shows that the electric power of a refrigerator to cool the current lead can be reduced by 1/3 of that in a conventional current lead. In conclusion, technology of a large HTS current lead for fusion application is established.

NbSn cConductors have already been developed for the TF coils operating at 13 T. However, the critical current of NbSn degrades due to a strain, and the amount of degradation becomes larger when the magnetic field increases, which set a limit of the NbSn application to a large coil at around 13 T. NbAl is considered, therefore, to be a next generation superconductor, since the critical current of NbAl is superior to that of NbSn and less sensitive against strains. JAERI has been developing NbAl conductor since 80s. As the first step, mass production technique of NbAl strands was established. In the second step, coil fabrication technique was developed and could successfully be charged to the nominal point of 13 T and 46 kA. From these advantages, JAERI is also promoting R&D activities to develop NbAl TF coils for JT-60SC. The prototype NbAl conductor has already been made. A D-shaped coil was fabricated and successfully tested. These activities constitute the basic approaches to develop TF coils whose operating field is expected to be around 16 T.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)In order to realize a low cost TF superconducting coil system for tokamak fusion reactors, the design of TF superconducting coil with a copper coil in place of pure copper wires within cable-in-conduit conductors is considered, which are needed for the thermal protection. This consideration is carried out under the condition that hot spot temperature of conductor is less than 250 K and a plasma-confinement vacuum vessel has no damage during the TF coil fast discharge in the ITER TF coil design. As the result, it is found that the conductor area is reduced by 35 % and the copper coil is installed into the original coil case together with a TF coil winding. An external resister system is reduced by around 40 % of the original system because 40 % of magnetic energy (40 GJ) stored in the ITER TF coil is dissipated into the copper coil during the fast discharge.
