Popis: The thermal shield (TS) of JT-60SA which is a superconducting tokamak, is installed to reduce radiation heat load from a vacuum vessel (VV), a cryostat vessel and ports at ambient temperature to superconducting coils at 4 K. The TS is double walled structure with He cooling pipe at 80 K, and is divided electrically in toroidal direction and poloidal direction to suppress eddy currents flowing through the TS during disruption. The TS is required to be installed in a narrow space which is between the VV, the ports, and the superconducting coils. Manufacturing and assembly accuracy of the TS are required to ensure the sufficient space for the relative displacement caused by thermal displacement and seismic load. Customization of mechanical joints in the divided section of the TS is effective process for keeping the required accuracy. Assembly of 340 ° sector of the vacuum vessel thermal shield has been completed.
