Abstract

The design and fabrication techniques for the ITER magnets are supported by the ITER Model Coil Program which focuses on component development and performance verification. The key component of the magnet system is the high current capacity (45-60 kA), Nb/sub 3/Sn, cable-in-conduit conductor, which is now being fabricated under a staged development program. The integrated design features and performance of the 13 T Toroidal Field coils and Central Solenoid will be verified in the Model Coil Program. This paper describes the status of the structural and construction features of the model coils and the test facilities for the model coils at JAERI (Naka) and FZK (Karlsruhe).
