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 DEMO reactor is expected to be the first application of fusion for electricity generation in
the near future. To this aim, conceptual design activities are progressing in Europe (EU) …

This book is the result of the industrial and academic research path that I started to follow
since 2007. At that time, I had a cooperation in place with a Formula 1 top team. When the …

Coated conductors could be promising materials for the fabrication of the large magnet
systems of future fusion devices. Two prototype conductors (flat cables in steel conduits) …

In the frame of the preconceptual design of the next-generation fusion power plant (EU
DEMO), the PROCESS systems code is used for nearly 20 years, in which the main reactor …

Abstract The Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) is a nuclear confinement device to
provide the integrated fusion environment with fusion reactor components. The FNSF is the …

The new HTS design concept for the DEMO toroidal field (TF) coil, based on cross-conductor
(CroCo) strands, has been proposed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The coil is …

While the ITER Tokamak is proceeding with major construction and assembly phases,
design and R&D activities regarding the next step experimental reactor, the so-called DEMO …

In the framework of the “roadmap to fusion electricity by 2050,” the design of the European
DEMO machine strongly relies on available technologies. The superconducting toroidal field …

The Toroidal field coils (TFC) of the EUROFusion DEMO reactor call for Nb 3 Sn conductor
with high field and high current. Another major requirement is cost-effectiveness, to keep the …
