Abstract

The JT-60SA is a fusion experiment designed to contribute to the early realization of fusion energy, by providing support to the operation of ITER, by addressing key physics issues for ITER and DEMO and by investigating how best to optimize the operation of the next fusion power plants that will be built after ITER. It is a combined project of the JA-EU Satellite Tokamak Program under the Broader Approach (BA) Program and JAEA´s Program for National Use, and it is to be built in Naka, Japan, using the infrastructure of the existing JT-60U experiment. This paper describes in detail the design of the JT-60SA Toroidal Field magnet and shows the strong points of each foreseen solution. Additional information about manufacturing procedures is given and technological issues are reported and critically analysed.
