Abstract :
A program at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to develop multifilamentary Nb3Sn conductors suitable for use in constructing fusion research magnets has resulted in the commercial production of conductors having cross-sectional areas in the range 0.06 cm2to 0.84 cm2. Critical current densities near the goal of 104A/cm2at 12 T and 4.2 K have been obtained in conductors produced by two different techniques. The latest results of this program are presented and discussed.
