摘要: Neutron shielding for the central column of a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. The neutron shielding comprises an electrically conductive neutron absorbing material. The neutron shielding is arranged such that the electrically conductive neutron absorbing material forms a solenoid for the initiation of plasma within the tokamak.

摘要: A monitoring device for use in a cryogenic system. The monitoring device comprises first (201) and second (202) conducting elements and a current detector (205). The first conducting element comprises high temperature superconducting, HTS, material and is configured for connection to a current source (203) and insertion into the cryogenic system. The second conducting element comprises HTS material and is connected in parallel to the first conducting element by first and second joints (204). The current detector is configured to detect a current in the second conducting element. When the HTS material in each of the first and second conducting elements is in a superconducting state, the resistance, RT, of the first conducting element between the first and second joints, is less than the sum, RB, of the resistance of the second conducting element between the first and second joints and the resistances of the first and second joints, R T B -

摘要: A High Temperature Superconductor, HTS, magnet comprising a coil formed of nested concentric windings. Each winding comprises HTS material. The HTS magnet further comprises a conductor element comprising an electrical contact surface through which to supply electric current to a portion of at least one of the windings. The surface provides electrical contact between the conductor element and an axial edge of the coil substantially around the path of the at least one of the windings.

摘要: A toroidal field coil. The toroidal field coil comprises a central column and a plurality of return limbs. Each return limb comprises a plurality of double pancake, DP, coils, the DP coils comprising high temperature superconducting, HTS, tapes. The DP coils are arranged such that a section of the DP coil which passes through the central column is positioned such that the tapes are aligned substantially with the local magnetic field during operation of the toroidal field coil. At least two DP coils at the outside of each return limb are bent about an axis parallel to the central column such that they each curve inwards towards each other.

摘要: A high temperature superconducting, HTS, field coil. The HTS field coil comprises a plurality of turns and a partially insulating layer. The plurality of turns comprises HTS material and metallic stabilizer. The partially insulating layer separates the turns, such that current can be shared between turns via the partially insulating layer. The partially insulating layer comprises an electrically conducting layer, and first and second insulating layers. The electrically conducting layer is coated on one side with the first insulating layer and on the other side with the second insulating layer. Each insulating layer has one or more windows through which electrical contact can be made between the turns and the electrically conducting layer. The windows in the first insulating layer are offset in the plane of the electrically conducting strip from the windows in the second insulating layer.

摘要: There is described a central column for a toroidal field coil of a tokamak plasma chamber. The central column comprises a support member extending vertically along a central axis of the central column made from material with high compressive strength, and current carrying elements located radially outward of the support member. The support member is in structural contact with the current carrying elements so as to support them radially against compressive Lorentz stress.
