Status of the KSTAR PF6 and PF7 Coil Development.

The KSTAR superconducting magnet system consist,s of 16 TF (Toroidal Field) and 14 PF (Poloidal Field) coils. Both of the TF and PF coil systems use internally-cooled Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC). The PF coil system, which consists of 8 coils in the CS (Central Solenoid) coil system and 6 outer PF coils, provides 17 V-s and sustains the plasma current of 2 MA for 20 seconds inductively. PF 1-5 coils use Nb3Sn CICC in an Incoloy 908 conduit and PF 6-7 coils use NbTi CICC in a modified stainless steel 316LN(316LN+). The fabrication of PF7L/U & PF6L/U coils is completed at present. The engineering issues and fabrication process, which are related with the KSTAR PF 6-7 coil development, are presented and discussed in this paper. TF and PF coils are in the fabrication stage for KSTAR completion in the year 2006. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
