    The installation and maintenance of components within the vacuum vessel (VV) of fusion power plants (FPPs) are heavily constrained by access limitations. In current magnetic confinement fusion experiments, access is typically restricted to the space between magnetic coils, significantly limiting the size of components that can be installed or maintained. These constraints are even more...

    The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is a prototype fusion power plant, planned to be operational in the 2040s. STEP TF coils consist of cables operating at 90kA of current with a peak-field on coil of 16T. These cables are jointed together through a remountable interface at multiple locations in the coil pack which allow for remote maintenance. The joints are intended to operate...

    There are many applications, companies and institutes pursuing and building large and high field REBCO magnets for a variety of applications, for example the toroidal field coils of a tokamak. Using a classical external dump for discharge and quench protection presents several problems, such as very high voltages. Whether or not these magnets can be protected using internal non-insulation or...

    The French government has recently launched the SupraFusion Research Program lead by CEA and CNRS with the partnership of multiple other national laboratories and universities. This national program has been granted 50 M€ in order to boost the development of HTS superconductors technology towards large societal applications, using the vector of nuclear fusion as a powerful driver for this...
