Cryogenic system for KSTAR Tokamak

  • 1. National Fusion R and D Center, Korea Basic Science Institute, Daejeon 305-333 (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) Project has been in progress since 1996. Major parameters of the KSTAR tokamak are: major radius 1.8 m, minor radius 0.5 m, toroidal field 3.5 Tesla. The KSTAR device has a fully CICC type superconducting coil system. Cooling of the superconducting coil is forced cooling by supercritical helium using a low temperature SHE circulation system at 4.5 K. The total cold mass is around 380 tons and required cooling capacity is 10 kW in base-line operation mode and 12 kW in up-graded operation mode at 4.5 K
