10 kA, 300 kJ magnetic energy transfer and storage (METS) test facility
- 1. Los Alamos Scientific Lab., NM
Description
The theta-pinch fusion test reactor proposed within the controlled thermonuclear research program at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory will demand that approximately 250 MJ be delivered into the plasma compression coil in one millisecond at a repetition rate of four per hour. Multiple modules of superconducting inductive storage will supply this pulsed energy. A Magnetic Energy Transfer and Storage (METS) facility has been constructed to test low-loss superconducting inductive energy storage modules, superconducting switches, and developmental high voltage circuit breakers. The storage module has been tested to 12.5 kA with 386 kJ stored energy
