Abstract :
The design options and the design integration of the magnet system for ARIES-III, a steady state reactor based on D-3He, are presented. Both the toroidal field system and the poloidal field system are described. A novel concept for manufacturing the toroidal field coil and for supporting the out-of-plane loads is presented. The authors address the toroidal field ripple induced by the toroidal field coil, as well as methods of reducing the ripple produced by the compact ARIES-III coils. The authors focus on those issues that are unique to the D-3 He reactors
