Manufacturing of ITER Toroidal Field Coil in Japan

- TF coil structure and integration -

Abstract

The ITER Toroidal Field Coil Structure (TFCS) consists of the coil case (CC) and inter-coil structure (IS) that connects the TF coils (TFCs). TF coil integration is conducted to integrate the CC and winding pack (WP). The National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST), serving as the Japanese domestic agency (JADA) in the ITER project, is responsible for procuring nine TF coils, including the TFCS and TFC integration. This commentary introduces the papers relating to the TFCS and TFC integration in this special issue of TEION KOGAKU.
