Description

During FY76 Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) continued its development of niobium tin (Nb3Sn) conductors and its design support for the mirror fusion test facility (MFTF) superconducting magnet. Three highlights came from within the Laboratory. LLL completed its cryogenic tensile-test apparatus for NB3Sn strain measurements. Over at MFTF, engineers ordered 2100 m of prototype material for a 1-m test coil. People at the high-field test facility (HFTF) released some components for fabrication; delivery was scheduled for early FY77. Outside LLL several subcontractors advanced Nb3Sn manufacturing technology. One advance, in particular, improved conductor current densities at 12 T
