Safety implications of shorted turns in superconducting magnets for fusion

Description

A Computer Code SHORTURN has been developed to analyze the thermal and electrical behavior of a shorted turn of a cryostable superconducting magnet when the magnet is discharged. The code, a modification of the code TASS, performs the thermal analysis of a heat balance using the back-difference method, and the electrical analysis semi-analytically. An LCP TF coil and the OH solenoids of FED and INTOR have been analyzed; the peak temperature and peak current are given as functions of short resistance and coil discharge time
