Description
In June, a contract was signed for the jacketing of the Korean share of the ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductor cable. The contract, signed between the Korean Domestic Agency (KO-DA) and the Italian Consortium for Applied Superconductivity (ICAS), is for the last step in the manufacturing of the TF conductor before winding. The contract is the first major instance of direct international cooperation between KO-DA and a non-Korean entity involved in the manufacturing of an ITER procurement item and further exemplifies the collaborative nature of the ITER project. The contract between KO-DA and ICAS will cover the entire ITER TF conductor allocated to KO-DA and is expected to last for three years. Meetings in China have confirmed the progress being made toward qualifying the manufacturing processes for the ITER Correction Coils. Because the large size and unusual shape of the 18 correction coils make manufacturing a challenge, the qualification stage of coil manufacturing processes is an important step to ensure the manufacturability of these coils within specified tolerances. "The main difficulty in the manufacture of the ITER Correction Coils lies in the very tight tolerances that must be achieved in their final envelope dimensions, due to the narrow space reserved for them between the toroidal field and the poloidal field coils," explains Technical Responsible Officer Arnaud Foussat. "A second challenge is the unusual shape of the coils--non-planar for side coils and planar (but banana-shaped) for the top and bottom coils."
