摘要
The ITER magnetic system includes 18 Toroidal Field (TF) Coils constructed using Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit superconductor. Each TF coil comprises a Winding Pack (WP) composed of 7 Double Pancake (DP) modules stacked together, impregnated and inserted into a stainless steel coil case. Fusion for Energy [the European Domestic Agency (DA)] is responsible for the procurement of the ten while the Japanese DA is responsible for remaining nine coils. The conductors are being produced by 6 different DAs, while the coil cases only by the Japanese DA. F4E has implemented a procurement strategy aimed to minimize costs and risks, consisting of subdividing the procurement into three main procurement packages, each foreseeing first an R&D and qualification phase. One procurement package is related to the construction of 72 radial plates (RP), another to the fabrication of the ten WP, and a third to the cold test and coil-case insertion of ten WP. In collaboration with industry, F4E has successfully produced two RP prototypes. Regarding the DP, the construction of the first DP prototype has started. In this paper, we will report on the results achieved so far and the status of each of the procurement packages.
