Present Achievements and Prospects for Superconducting Tokamaks in the World

  • Chapter

Abstract

The operation of tokamaks with superconducting toroidal field coil systems is providing information how to integrate a large cryogenic component in the real environment of a tokamak and should demonstrate the reliable performance of superconducting magnet systems in all desired and even unexpected operation modes of a fusion device. While the large tokamaks Tore Supra and T 15 are just in different advanced stages of initial operation, the small tokamak TRIAM-1M is already fulfilling this purpose. Simultaneously, mission oriented technology development effort is carried out worldwide, partially coordinated and in any case unified in the strategy by the IAEA/ITER design work.
