Abstract :
The Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) at Princeton will be the first tokamak with an all superconducting poloidal field (PF) magnet system. The conductors are all cable-in-conduit (CICC) superconductors with a single conduit, similar to those in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). 10 of the PF coils use Nb/sub 3/Sn superconductor while 4 of them use NbTi. High noise initiation and disruptions demand the use of an advanced quench detection system.<>
