Abstract :
Hitachi has been qualified to proceed to the phase II portion of the VQP (Vendor Qualification Program) from the standpoint of QA (quality assurance) as a result of the second QA survey practiced by the SSCL (Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory). The authors describe the fabrication procedures for Phase IB SSC outer strands and cables and summarize the strand production and the strand test results for the 0.648-mm-diameter outer strands fabricated from the first five pieces of the multibillets among the 20 pieces required to be processed in Phase IB. The first run for the 930-m-long cabling operating is discussed by considering a record of the inline cable measuring machine used for monitoring the cable dimensions. The QA program for Phase IB is also reviewed.<>
