Abstract :
The ITER structural design criteria have played an important role in the present design of the ITER magnet system. The performed analyses and structural assessment has given the ITER International Team valuable insight in the mechanical behaviour of the magnet system. A high reliability of its design is obtained to ensure the required operating life and to justify the financial investment.
