Description
Procurement of the ITER magnets is due to start at the end of 2007/early 2008, with the launch of the longest lead time items, the Nb3Sn conductor and the TF coil windings. The base design for procurement was established in 2001, and the build up of the Cadarache ITER team has been accompanied by a review of the most critical, or controversial, features of the 2001 design. At the same time, an urgent R and D program has been launched to complete the necessary verification of the design solutions that are proposed. In this paper an overview will be presented of the main design features and drivers, and some of the recent issues and R and D results will be summarized. (authors)
