Update on Design of the Iter In-Vessel Coils

The ITER project baseline now includes two sets of in-vessel coils, one to mitigate the effects of Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) and another to provide vertical stabilization (VS). The in-vessel location presents special challenges in terms of nuclear radiation and temperature, and requires the use of mineral-insulated conductors. An update to the preliminary design based on this conductor technology is presented for both coil designs. Results from an on-going R&D program consisting of conductor development, welding and brazing process development, electrical testing and mechanical testing in order to demonstrate manufacturability of this style of conductor are presented. Plans for two prototype coils, one of each type, are presented.
