Status of design and manufacturing of the ITER Central Solenoid and Correction Coils

The Final Design of the Central Solenoid (CS) of the ITER Magnet system is currently being completed by the US ITER Domestic Agency (USDA) and the manufacturing line of the coil under installation at the supplier's premises in the USA. The Central Solenoid includes 6 identical Nb3Sn coil modules independently powered and enclosed inside a precompression structure preventing their separation. The CS structure includes 9 subsets, made of Nitronic 50 high strength austenitic stainless steel, evenly distributed around the stack of the 6 modules.
