Superconducting Magnets for Fusion Reactors

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Superconducting magnets for fusion reactor applications are being developed in the U.S., Europe, Japan and the USSR. A substantial technological base already exists, but magnets for fusion face special problems and strong incentives for higher performance. In the U.S. high-field magnets for mirrors are being addressed by construction of the superconducting (NbTi) MFTF and by Nb/sub 3/Sn conductor development. Large toroidal field magnets for tokamaks are being developed through the Large Coil Program, which involves design and construction of NbTi and Nb/sub 3/Sn coils by six industrial teams, three in the U.S. and three in other countries.
