Summary
From fifth symposium on engineering problems of fusion research; Princeton, New Jersey, USA (6 Nov 1973). Development of aluminum-clad Nb/sub 3/ Sn has continued in the pursuit of higher magnetic fields for controlled thermonuclear research. While earlier experiments confirmed the necessity of conservative cryogenic stability of such conductors, the resulting current densities from recent experiments remain quite acceptable for large applications. Cryogenic stability also provides the high reliability often required. Accordingly, more advanced superconductors have been tested with extensive cooling channels between the magnet turns, and temperature differences have been minimized through the aluminum bonds and structural materials. In addition, liquid helium has been circulated through the magnet to prevent vaporlocking during massive flux jumps. (auth)
