Abstract

The upgrade of JT-60U magnet system to superconducting coils (JT-60SA) is progressing by both parties of Japanese government and European commission in the framework of the Broader Approach agreement. The magnet system for JT-60SA consists of 18 Toroidal Field (TF) coils, a Central Solenoid (CS) with four modules, six Equilibrium Field (EF) coils. The TF coil case encloses the winding pack and is the main structural component of the magnet system. The CS consists of four independent winding pack modules, which is support from the bottom of the TF coils. The six EF coils are attached to the TF coil cases through supports with flexible plates allowing radial displacements. The construction of CS and EF coils was started in 2008 by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The construction of TF coils will be started in 2009 by Fusion for Energy and European voluntary contributors. This paper introduces the design of the JT-60SA superconducting magnet system and activities for development of magnet components in Japan.
