TL;DR: The ITER central solenoid (CS) model coil and CS insert coil were developed and fabricated through an international collaboration, and their cooldown and charging tests were successfully carried out by international test and operation teams as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, four conductor lengths were prepared according to the ITER TF conductor design and assembled into two SULTAN samples, with variations of the strand supplier, void fraction and twist pitch.

TL;DR: A new generation of ITER TF conductor samples has been assembled and tested in SULTAN in 2007 following a common procedure agreed among the ITER parties as discussed by the authors, and the test results of six different conductor sections made of twelve conductor sections manufactured in Europe, Japan, Korea and Russia are reported here.

TL;DR: In this paper, two short length samples have been prepared and tested in SULTAN to benchmark the performance of high current density, advanced Nb3Sn strands in the large cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) for ITER.
