Abstract

Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute is constructing the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor common test facility for the Central Solenoid Model Coil which is around 180 tons, a forced-flow cooled magnet with the maximum pulsed operation of 2 T/s and generates the rated magnetic field of 13 T at 48 kA with stored energy of 668 MJ. The test facility consists of a coil vacuum chamber, a cryogenic system with the 5-kW refrigerator and 500-g/s cryogenic pump, two pairs of 50-kA current leads, two DC power supplies (50 kA and 60 kA) and two JT-60 pulsed power supplies (50 kA, ±4.5 kV and ±40 kA, ±1.5 kV). The facility will be demonstrating the refrigeration and operation of a fusion pulsed magnet and the design and construction will accumulate experience towards the construction of ITER
