Abstract

JT-60SA is the satellite tokamak for ITER in the Broader Approach agreement. The JT-60SA uses 18 toroidal field coils, a central solenoid with 4 modules, and 6 equilibrium field coils, they are all superconducting coils with forced flow cooled conductors. All detailed designs of these superconducting coils have been completed. The manufacturing of conductors and coils are progressing in Japan and EU. This paper shows the latest manufacturing activities and final design adjusting of its magnet system and their utilities.
