Development and Sultan Test Result of ITER Conductor Samples of Korea

As a way to improve performance of ITER TF conductors, two types of cable-in-conduit conductors were developed in Korea with variations of conduit thickness resulting in the different void fraction of the conductors. The estimated void fractions of the conductors are 31% and 33%. Here we report the details of the TF conductor development and the performance test result of them carried out in SULTAN. Regarding the conductor development, the internal-Sn-processed strand characteristics, strand cabling, twist pitch and characteristics of the conduits for the conductors are presented. For an extended understanding of the conductor design and performance, the SULTAN test results are presented and the effect of the void fraction variations is discussed based on the results.
