ITER – ITER’s New Solenoid Conductor Passes Tests
28 February 2012
CADARACHE, France (28 February 2012) – The performance degradation problem that was found in a conductor for ITER’s Central Solenoid last year seems to be solved.
Tests carried out at the SULTAN Test Facility in Switzerland on a newly fabricated Central Solenoid conductor sample showed good results. The new conductor sample was submitted to 10,000 magnetic load cycles and two warm-up / cool-down cycles, conditions which mimic one-sixth of the full operational life of ITER’s Central Solenoid.
