Abstract

JT-60SA is foreseen in the Broader Approach Agreement as the satellite tokamak for ITER. It uses 18 toroidal field coils, a central solenoid with four modules, and six equilibrium field coils. The coils are all superconducting with forced-flow cooled conductors. Series production of conductors and coils is progressing in Japan and Europe. This paper shows the latest manufacturing activities of the magnet system and its utilities.
