ITER Central Solenoid design

The Central Solenoid (CS) is a critical component in the ITER tokamak providing plasma current drive and shaping. The CS final design is being completed at the US ITER Project Office (USIPO) in Oak Ridge, TN under a Procurement Arrangement with the ITER Organization (IO). Key design decisions have been made and CAD models and drawings developed. Interfaces have been established. An extensive R&D program has been completed. Analyses have been conducted to verify the design meets requirements. Design documentation is being completed in anticipation of a Final Design Review in the fall of 2013. The paper describes the key features of the CS final design.
