Force analysis in the superconducting toroidal system of a tokamak reactor, for all the possible fault conditions

The framework of the FINTOR conceptual designs of Tokamak reactors within a number of computer codes hve been set up to calculate the distribution of the forces on the superconducting coils of the toroidal system due to toroidal and poloidal fields. The equilibrium (all the coils energized) and the fault conditions (one or more toroidal coils failed) have been considered. In this last case the current of the unfailed coils is kept constant. The aim is to supply data to the designer of the mechanical structures. 3 refs
