  • Abstract
    The 1D stability analysis of a subset of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Poloidal Field (PF) coils, namely PF2, PF3, PF5, is presented, using the Mithrandir code. Different combinations of lengths and durations are considered for the stability disturbance, applied to the superconducting cable during the most critical operating condition. In all cases the computed energy margin is well above the presently expected disturbance on the coils.
