Summary

A SUPERCONDUCTING COIL SYSTEM IS INDISPENSABLE FOR FUSION POWER GENERATION IN CONFINING AND CONTROLLING PLASMA. HOWEVER, IT IS TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT SUCH A LARGE COIL SYSTEM IN ONE STEP. THE EVALUATION OF CONDUCTOR TYPES AND MATERIALS, AND SCALING-UP ARE NECESSARY FOR CONSTRUCTING A PRACTICAL REACTOR. IN ORDER TO HAVE EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENTS, AN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION WAS UNDERTAKEN IN 1977. THE MAJOR PART OF THE PROJECT WAS DEVOTED TO 6 COILS (5.5 M IN HEIGHT, 40 TONS IN WEIGHT), FABRICATION, AND FACILITY CONSTRUCTION (HELIUM REFRIGERATOR, ETC). ALL 6 COILS SATISFIED THE ORIGINAL TARGET, 8 T FIELD GENERATION. IN THE EXTENDED CONDITION, 9 T WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY OBTAINED WITH ALL THE COILS.
