Abstract: The characterization of the Toroidal Model Pancake (TMP) is presented. The TMP is a superconducting coil constructed by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute for fusion reactor studies. Built of hollow cooling monolithic superconductors, it begun testing in Aug 1992. Its performance is described along with cooldown, pressure drop, stability and mechanical issues.
