Taking the relay of the large Hadron collider (LHC) at CERN, ITER has become the largest
project in applied superconductivity. In addition to its technical complexity, ITER is also a …

We review progress in the design of high field superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors
(CICCs) for fusion applications, with special attention to the results of recent key …

The commercially available high temperature superconductors (HTS) tapes and wires
(BSSCO and REBCO) are introduced and the past and present projects to build fusion …

The ITER toroidal field model coil (TFMC) was designed, constructed and tested by the
European Home Team in the framework of the ITER research and development program of …

The differences in thermal contraction of the composite materials in a cable in conduit
conductor (CICC) for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), in …

Abstract The overall 30 year Nb 3 Sn conductor program for ITER provides an unusual
opportunity to look at the issues created by the application of novel Nb 3 Sn technology on a …

The non-Cu critical current density of Nb 3 Sn strands has been pushed towards 3000 A
mm− 2 (12 T, 4.2 K) by increasing the Sn content and reducing the inter-filamentary Cu. We …

In this paper, the nonlinear mechanical behaviors of Nb3Sn superconducting composite
wires have been investigated by the quasi-static loading-unloading tensile and fatigue tests …

The ITER central solenoid (CS) must be capable of driving inductively 30 000 15 MA plasma
pulses with a burn duration of 400 s. This implies that during the lifetime of the machine, the …

The ITER cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs) are built up from sub-cable bundles, wound
in different stages, which are twisted to counter coupling loss caused by time-changing …
