With the first tokamak designed for full nuclear operation now well into final assembly (ITER), and a major new research starting commissioning (JT60SA), fusion is becoming mainstream potential energy source future. A critical part of viability magnetic confinement superconductor technology. The experience gained lessons learned in application this technology to ITER JT60SA, together with improved superconducting materials, opening multiple routes commercial reactors. objective roadmap is,...
The thermal response of the attenuation bands an optical fibre long period grating was monitored over a temperature range 4.2–280 K. A linear dependence central wavelength band, gradient 0.2 nm K−1, observed 77–280 measurable shift at temperatures as low 20
Abstract An apparatus has been built to perform irradiation and electrical testing of REBCO coated conductors (CC) held below their critical temperature ( T c ). Patterned tracks Fujikura GdBCO CC were irradiated with 2 MeV He + ions in steps up 4 mdpa whilst at 40 K, the current density J ) determined from I–V characteristics. These ‘ in-situ ’ samples then underwent annealing experiments room temperature. The superconducting performance, both before after annealing, compared equivalent...
Abstract Commercial fusion power plants will require strong magnetic fields that can only be achieved using state-of-the-art high-temperature superconductors in the form of REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ -coated conductors. In operation a machine, magnet windings exposed to fast neutrons are known adversely affect superconducting properties compounds. However, very little is about how these materials perform when they irradiated at cryogenic temperatures. Here, we use bespoke situ test rig show helium...
Oxford Instruments have developed a new dilution refrigerator for ultralow temperatures down to below 35mK. The TritonDRTM system is continuous cryogenic cycle refrigerator. driven by closed cryocooler and hence requires no liquid cryogens. has dedicated electronic control unit software that provides full of operation.
