Popis: Many full size conductors for the ITER TF coils have been tested at the SULTAN test facility in Switzerland for conductor qualification. JAEA tested two samples and two kinds of Nb3Sn strands were evaluated through the tests. Now another sample named JATF3 has been tested, which uses two other kinds of Nb3Sn strands. The strands satisfy the critical current density Jc requirement, but results of the conductor test were lower than our expectation. After the test, JAEA has been investigating the reason by X-ray CT scan and destructive inspection, and has found a possible reason.
