Evaluating the ITER magnets at SULTAN

21 Jan 2014 - Krista Dulon

SULTAN is the only facility in the world capable of testing the ITER magnet samples under operating conditions similar to those they will be exposed to in ITER.
The Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas (CRPP) in Switzerland has studied fundamental plasma physics since 1961, with a particular focus on magnetic fusion since 1979. Part of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the CRPP operates the TCV tokamak and the SULTAN facility for testing and evaluating high current superconductors. We recently spoke with Pierluigi Bruzzone, head of CRPP's Superconductivity section, about work currently underway at SULTAN for the ITER magnets.
