Qualification Tests and Facilities for the ITER Superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
All the ITER superconductors are tested as short length samples in the SULTAN test facility at CRPP. Eighteen TF conductor samples with small layout variations were tested since February 2007 with the aim of verification of the design and qualification of the manufacturers. The sample assembly and the measurement techniques at CRPP are discussed. Starting in 2010, another test facility for ITER conductors, named EDIPO, will be operating at CRPP to share with SULTAN the load of the samples for the acceptance tests during the construction of ITER.

متن کاملStudy on Characteristics of Dissimilar Material Joints for ITER First Wall
The first wall (FW) of ITER blanket includes beryllium (Be) armor tiles joined to CuCrZr heat sink with stainless steel (SS) cooling tube and backing plate in order to improve plasma performance and reduce thermal stress. Since these joints must withstand thermal and mechanical loads caused by the plasma and electromagnetic force, it is important to evaluate the strength and thermal fatigue lif...
متن کاملCharacterization and qualification of advanced insulators for fusion magnets
Intensive research over the past decades demonstrated that the mechanical material performance of epoxy based glass fiber reinforced plastics, which are normally used by industry as insulating materials in magnet technology, degrades dramatically upon irradiation to fast neutron fluences above 1 × 1022 m−2 (E > 0.1 MeV), which have to be expected in large fusion devices like ITER. This triggere...
