Abstract
Nuclear fusion is one of the major long-term options for mankind’s energy supply. Progress in the physics of fusion reactors is already well advanced, and the development of a first experimental reactor has been underway for several years. At present magnetic confinement of the hot plasma is considered as the most promising technology. Consequently, the use of superconducting magnets for generating the required high magnetic field in a large volume is imperative for economic reasons. Even for large prototype experiments currently under construction, one must use superconducting magnets for steady-state or quasi-steady-state operation.
