 Photomicrograph of the Nb3Sn wire produced by Kiswire Advanced Technology, for use in the ITER TF magnet conductor.  Visiting the strand production facility in Korea: representatives from the Korean Domestic Agency, the ITER Organization and Kiswire Advanced Technology. The Republic of Korea, represented by the Korean Domestic Agency, is responsible for manufacturing 20 percent of the Cable-In-Conduit conductors for ITER's toroidal field coils. This represents a total 20 kilometers of superconducting cable made out of 90 tons of Nb3Sn strands. In order to assess the progress of Nb3n strand production, the Technical Responsible Officer on the Korean side, Keeman Kim, and Arnaud Devred, Leader of the Superconductor Systems and Auxiliaries Section within the ITER Organization, visited the KAT manufacturing site on Monday this week and found it "bursting with activity," as reported by Arnaud Devred. The visit was completed by a Conductor Database training session given by Kazutaka Seo from the ITER Organization, and attended by representatives from the Korean Domestic Agency and KAT. << return to Newsline #84 |
