Oral

The magnet system is one of the critical core components of the ITER magnets, defining the machine capabilities to form and drive 15MA 500MW nuclear plasmas for 100s of seconds. The magnets, the largest superconducting magnet system ever built with 50GJ of stored energy, are also technologically highly advanced components using large composite Nb3Sn 4-6K force flow cooled conductors that also,...
