Times Cited Count：25 Percentile：72.88(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is procuring all amounts of NbSn conductors for Central Solenoid (CS) in the ITER project. Before start of mass-productions, the conductor should be tested to confirm superconducting performance in the SULTAN facility, Switzerland. The original design of cabling twist pitches is 45-85-145-250-450 mm, called normal twist pitch (NTP). The test results of the conductors with NTP was that current shearing temperature (Tcs) is decreasing due to electro-magnetic (EM) load cycles. On the other hand, the results of the conductors with short twist pitches (STP) of 25-45-80-150-450 mm show that the Tcs is stabilized during EM load cyclic tests. Because the conductors with STP have smaller void fraction, higher compaction ratio during cabling is required and possibility of damage on strands increases. The technology for the cables with STP was developed in Japanese cabling suppliers. The several key technologies will be described in this paper.

A total of 900 NbSn strands and 522 copper strands are cabled around the central spiral and the cable is inserted into a round-in-round stainless steel jacket. It was observed that the cabling pitch of the destructive sample is longer than the original pitch at cabling. The JAEA carried out the tensile tests of the cable and the measurement of the cable rotation during the insertion to investigate the cause of the elongation. The cause of elongation was clarified and the results will be described in this paper.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：61.02(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)A special type of 7 T 240 mm vertical bore cryogen-free superconducting magnet system was developed. The magnet system consists of three sets of coils which are charged separately. A set of sweep coils are located inside of the main coil. The sweep coil produces only 
0.2 T but is charged and discharged within 10 seconds so as to control electron trajectory. To avoid quench with the rise of the temperature from the large AC loss, this set of coils are wound with NbSn conductor. This magnet system will contribute to the fast control of the gyrotron oscillation frequency.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is procuring all amounts of NbSn conductors for Central Solenoid (CS) in the ITER project. Before start of mass-productions, the conductor should be tested to confirm superconducting performance in the SULTAN facility, Switzerland. The cable with a shorter twist pitch shows no degradation of Tcs against to electromagnetic load cycles. However, it is difficult to make the cable, because the diameter of the cable with shorter twist pitch is larger and the cable has to compact more. The technology for the cables with STP was developed in Japanese cabling suppliers. The several key technologies and production will be described in this paper.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency is responsible for NbSn Cable-in-Conduit conductors or the Central Solenoid (CS) and the Toroidal Field (TF) coil under the ITER project. Full-size conductor test was performed to confirm performance using SULTAN facility at Switzerland, especially effect of electromagnetic load cycles on the current sharing temperature (Tcs). The original (reference) conductor which had relatively long twist pitch cabling design is called as the normal twist pitch (NTP) conductor. NTP conductor showed Tcs decrease with increasing the number of cycles. By introducing short twist pitch conductor, performance during electromagnetic cycles was improved and concern of Tcs decrease in ITER CS is eliminated. Improvement is understood that shorting pitch of the triplet in the first stage make more engagement of strand providing more stiffness of the cable that prevent strand deformation like buckling observed in the destructive examination of the previous SULTAN sample.
