Abstract :
The HT-7U is a superconducting tokamak, which is constructing in Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP). The mission of the HT-7U project is to develop scientific and engineering issues on the steady state operation of advanced tokamak. The engineering design of the device is optimized. The R&D program is going on. Short samples of conductor and a central solenoid (CS) model coil were tested. All of the toroidal field (TF) and poloidal field (PF) coils will be manufactured and tested in Institute of Plasma Physics. Therefore, a 600 meters long length jacketing line for cable-in-conduit conductors, two winding machines, a set of vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) equipment and a test facility for the TF and PF coils are ready in ASIPP now. In this paper, the recent progress of the HT-7U is described.
