The main goal of the project was to establish the superconducting magnet technology necessary for a large-scale fusion experimental reactor. Three heavily instrumented insert coils were built to cover a wide operational space for testing. The CS Insert, built by Japan, was tested in April-August of 2000. The TF Insert, built by Russian Federation, will be tested in the fall of 2001. The NbAl Insert, built by Japan, will be tested in 2002. The testing takes place in the CSMC Test Facility at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Naka, Japan. The CSMC was charged successfully without training to its design current of 46 kA to produce 13 T in the magnet bore. The stored energy at 46 kA was 640 MJ. This paper presents the main results of the CSMC and the CS Insert testing-magnet critical parameters, ac losses, joint performance, quench characteristics and some results of the post-test analysis.1e:T454,The recently developed and validated 4C code is used to analyse the fast discharge of an ITER TF coil, including the cooling circuits of winding and casing, and the quench venting system. The analysis shows that a quench can be initiated by the fast discharge, depending on the value of the thermal resistance of the conductor turn insulation. Eddy currents heat the structures and these transfer the heat especially to the side pancakes, where the quench is initiated. The hot spot temperature remains below $\sim$ 37 K in the winding and $\sim$ 55 K in the structures. The peak pressurization in the winding remains below $\sim$ 8.5 MPa.
