In June, a contract was signed for the jacketing of the Korean of the 澳门六合彩高手 toroidal field conductor cable. The contract, signed between the Korean Domestic Agency (KO-DA) and the Italian Consortium for Applied Superconductivity (ICAS), is for the last step in the manufacturing of the toroidal field conductor before winding.
will fabricate the stainless steel jacket for the toroidal field cable. From 13 metre sections of stainless steel tube, ICAS will fabricate the 415 and 760 metre-long segments required for 澳门六合彩高手's toroidal field conductor. Niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) superconducting cable supplied by KO-DA will be inserted into the tubes, and the two will be compacted together to form the circular cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) for 澳门六合彩高手 toroidal field magnets.
The contract is the first major instance of direct international cooperation between KO-DA and a non-Korean entity involved in the manufacturing of an 澳门六合彩高手 procurement item and further exemplifies the collaborative nature of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project. The contract between KO-DA and ICAS will cover all of the 澳门六合彩高手 toroidal field conductor allocated to KO-DA (1 x 760 m dummy conductor, 1 x 100 m superconducting conductor, 19 x 760 m superconducting conductors, and 8 x 415 m superconducting conductors) and is expected to last for three years.
