Because one of the KSTAR mission is toachieve a steady-state operation, the use of superconducting coils is an obvious choice for themagnet system. The KSTAR superconducting magnet system consists of 16 Toroidal Field (TF) coils and14 Poloidal Field (PF) coils. Internally-cooled Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC) are put into usein both the TF and PF coil systems. The TF coil system provides a field of 3.5 T at the plasmacenter and the PF coil system is able to provide a flux swing of 17 V-sec. The major achievement inKSTAR magnet-system development includes the development of CICC, the development of a full-size TFmodel coil, the development of a coil system for background magnetic-field generation , theconstruction of a large-scale superconducting magnet and CICC test facility. TF and PF coils are inthe stage of fabrication to pave the way for the scheduled completion of KSTAR by the end of 2006.展开更多

The vacuum vessel,port, cryostat cylinder, lid, and bellows are being rigorously fabricated in the factory. The lowerpart of the KSTAR such as cryostat base and gravity support has been almost finished in itsfabrication. There are also great progresses and significant results in manufacturing of thesuperconducting magnet, including four Toroidal Field (TF) coils, lower and upper PF7 coils whichare the largest Poloidal Field (PF) coils. The TFOO coil, which has been made for test and back-upof the TF magnet system, was successfully tested in the cool-down and current charging. As thefabrications and procurements of major structures have been actively proceeded, assembly works werealso launched from Aug. 2003.
