Abstract

ITER Central Solenoid (CS) system manufacturing, after ten years, completed all coil modules manufacturing and testing to full current 40 kA at 4.5 K. Meanwhile the assembly work at ITER has progressed steadily since its start five years ago. A summary of characteristic technical challenges found in manufacturing and assembly, and an outlook of what is expected towards the completion of CS assembly are presented.
