Test results and perspectives of the cluster test program
Description
The Cluster Test Facility has been constructed and successfully tested at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) for the development of superconducting tokamak toroidal coils. The Cluster Test Coils are 20 mj, NbTi, pool-cooled coils. During the first test operation, the two coils were charged successfully to the rated current value of 2.145 amp without quenching. The data obtained during the cool down were significant. This information pertains mainly to the efficiency of the cooling surface and thermal properties of the coil legs composed of stainless steel and glass epoxy. Results of strain measurements during the charging tests indicated a serious problem of analytical calculations. This problem arises primarily from the difficulty of defining the mechanical properties of winding-structure interface. The first test module coil is a 10 T, Nb/sub 3/Sn coil. 7 refs
