Abstract

After several years of design optimization, the Central Solenoid (CS) of the ITER Magnet system is now moving towards manufacture. The design has evolved to take into account on one hand the results of the R&D carried out by the US ITER team in charge of the development of the design and on the other hand the feedback provided by the involvement of industry in preparation of the manufacture. To address specific issues, dedicated mock-ups have been manufactured and tested. Electromagnetic, structural and thermo-hydraulic analyses have been carried out to verify the compliance of the design with the ITER design criteria. A review of the Final Design is planned in 2013, preparing then to move into the manufacturing phase.
