Abstract

In International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Engineering Design Activities, the Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) and the CS Insert Coil (CSIC) have been fabricated, and installed into the ITER CSMC test facility at Naka Fusion Establishment, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). The CSMC and CSIC conductors are applied to the cable-in-conduit conductors cooled by forced-flow supercritical helium (SHe) at 4.5K. There are 48 parallel cooling channels for the CSMC, the CSIC and the structures. In the CSMC experiment, the cool-down and the warm-up were finished successfully. The cool-down time was within 480 hours. The steady head load without coil current was measured and evaluated.
