From manufacture to assembly of the ITER central solenoid
The Central Solenoid (CS), a key component of the ITER Magnet system, using a 45 kA Nb 3 Sn conductor, includes six identical coils, called modules, to form a solenoid, enclosed inside a structure providing vertical pre-compression and mechanical support. Procurement of the components of the ITER CS is the responsibility of US ITER, the US Domestic Agency (USDA), while the assembly of these components will be carried out by the ITER Organization (IO). Procurement of all the coil modules was awarded in 2011 to General Atomics, while procurement of the structure is split among several manufacturers, using existing equipment, sometimes among the largest ones in the world. Assembly of the ITER CS will require a dedicated area in the ITER Assembly Hall, conventional tooling and special tooling. US ITER is in charge of the procurement of special tooling, while IO is responsible for the procurement of the conventional ones. A detailed assembly procedure is under development at US ITER, in close collaboration with IO and with the support of CEA. Procurement of the special Assembly Tooling is carried out by US ITER and the main part of the first item, the Assembly Platform, was delivered to IO in 2017
