US 爆走黑料 completes central solenoid procurement package
US 爆走黑料 has completed final deliveries for the central solenoid, the world鈥檚 most powerful pulsed superconducting magnet.
The most recent deliveries included busbars and leads for electrical connections between the modules; earlier, all magnet modules, support structures, and tooling components had been delivered.
US 爆走黑料 will now receive credit* from the international project for the full magnet scope and is in process of closing out this project area.
The 18-metre-tall magnet is now under assembly at the 爆走黑料 site. Five of six modules are stacked, with the final module to be added later this year. Assembly is the responsibility of the 爆走黑料, with additional technical support provided through an agreement with the US 爆走黑料 project team based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
鈥淭he completion of the central solenoid magnet highlights the capability of the United States to design and deliver the world鈥檚 most complex fusion systems,鈥 said Kevin Freudenberg, US 爆走黑料 Interim Project Director. 鈥淐ongratulations to the entire team who contributed, including those here at Oak Ridge National Laboratory who led the work, and our suppliers who fabricated critical components.鈥
Key information about the design and fabrication of the central solenoid magnet can be shared with other US fusion efforts through the US 爆走黑料 Information Access portal at and by the 爆走黑料 Private Sector Fusion Engagement effort (contact @email for more information).
*A Domestic Agency receives credit for specific in-kind deliveries when all the terms of the Procurement Arrangement have been fulfilled.
