摘要： According to an aspect, there is provided a method of installing or removing a superconducting cable into or from an installed operative position, e.g. in a nuclear fusion reactor, wherein the superconducting cable is flexible and the method comprises moving at least a portion of the superconducting cable through a predefined pathway into or from the installed operative position. According to another aspect, there is provided a predefined pathway configured to receive a flexible superconducting cable in an installed operative position, the predefined pathway being configured such that at least a portion of the superconducting cable can be moved into or from the installed operative position. A flexible superconducting cable configured with a flexibility that allows the superconducting cable to be installed or removed into or from an installed operative position by moving at least a portion of the superconducting cable through a predefined pathway may also be provided.
