Overview of ITER magnet system and European contribution

The superconducting magnet system of ITER consists of four main sub-systems: Toroidal Field (TF) coils, Central Solenoid (CS) coils; Poloidal Field (PF) coils; and Correction Coils (CC). Like many other ITER systems, the magnet components are supplied in-kind by six Domestic Agencies (DAs). The technical specifications, manufacturing processes and procedures required to fabricate these components are particularly challenging. The management structure and organization to realize this procurement within the tight ITER construction schedule is very complex.
