Abstract
The construction of a magnet system for the tokamak device of JT-60 super-advanced (JT-60SA) was completed in March 2020. The manufacturing of central solenoid (CS) had been finished in March 2019. The circularity of 4.0 mm is a requirement for CS manufacturing from the point of view of plasma control. The high accurate manufacturing method and jigs had been developed, and the circularity of CS achieves 1.44 mm, which meets the requirement of 4.0 mm. The clearance between the CS and the TF coils is very small, only 14 mm in design. In case the CS touches the TF coils and is subjected to load during operation, the CS can be damaged. Thus the surface dimensions of the CS and the TF coils have been measured before the installation of CS to confirm if the clearance is sufficiently large to avoid the CS crashing into the TF coils. The CS was successfully installed to the tokamak center without any damages in December 2019 as the final step of the magnet assembly of JT-60SA. In this paper, the manufacturing results and the installation of the CS are described.
