 The first conductor unit lengths took to sea on 16 March... The three large components were manufactured by Nippon Steel Engineering at the Wakamatsu ITER factory, in the southernmost Japanese island of Kyushu. They are the first components produced under a Procurement Arrangement signed with Japan in November 2007. The copper dummy conductors are respectively 100 and 760 metres long; the niobium-tin superconductor is 415 metres long.  ...and arrived at Yokohama three days later.  The copper dummy conductors are respectively 100 and 760 metres long; the niobium-tin superconductor is 415 metres long. Once the acceptance procedure is complete, trial winding will be performed on TF coils mock-ups at the Toshiba facility. JAEA and the ITER Organization will supervise these operations that are part of "Phase II activity" as defined in the TF Coil Procurement Arrangements. << return to Newsline #127 |
