Abstract

The Procurement of Feeder system in Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) for The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Tokamak device has been carrying out after the signature of Procurement Arrangement in October 2011. The relevant main tasks in 2012 and 2013 are the qualification of some key subcomponents, including high temperature superconducting current leads (HTS-CL), superconducting joints, 80-K thermal shield (TS), vacuum barrier, in-cryostat feeder, cold mass support, etc. The production of manufacturing drawings, preparation of manufacturing plan, manufacture and qualification of tooling, and qualification of subcomponents are all involved in this phase. This paper describes the progress made by ASIPP and some sub-contractors for the feeder´s qualification work.
