GENERAL ATOMIC HELIUM II PROGRAM.

Author(s) : PURCELL J.

Summary

GENERAL ATOMIC IS ENGAGED IN A PROGRAM TO DETERMINE THE SUITABILITY OF ALLOYED NIOBIUM/TITANIUM, COOLED WITH HELIUM II FOR HIGH FIELD TOROIDAL FIELD COILS FOR USE IN FUSION REACTORS. THE AUTHORS HAVE COMPLETED A DESIGN STUDY ON FULL SCALE FUSION ENGINEERING DEVICE COILS AT 10 T, AND HAVE MEASURED SOME STABILITY PARAMETERS OF THE PROPOSED CABLE CONDUCTOR. A 40 CM BORE TEST COIL IS ALMOST COMPLETED. THIS COIL CONTAINS ABOUT 150 KG OF CABLED CONDUCTOR WITH AN OPERATING CURRENT OF 10 KA AT 11 T. THE SUPERCONDUCTOR IS NIOBIUM/TITANIUM/TANTALE AND THE COIL WILL BE TESTED IN BOTH SATURATED AND SUBCOOLED SUPERFLUID HELIUM.
