Abstract

Martin Marietta and Westinghouse, in support of the US ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) Magnet Technology Development work at MIT, are developing designs for a model coil that will test the design concepts and manufacturing methods for the ITER Central Solenoid Magnets. The US is teamed with Japan in the development of a 13 T solenoid magnet that, combined with a separate superconducting insert coil, will test full size ITER concepts. The paper summarizes the design status and illustrates the manufacturing methods to be utilized in the fabrication of the US model coil components.<>
