United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority awarded a contract to Demcon Multiphysics for alternating current (AC) loss modelling for superconducting cables and coil sets in the Tokamak confinement system.

The scope included numerical calculation of AC losses in existing concept designs for the central solenoid (CS), toroidal field (TF) limbs, and poloidal field (PF) coils, as well as their electromagnetic interaction with plasma operation.

The assessment also covered the impact of passive structures on AC losses.

The contract value was AUD 44,499.
