Short description:
UKAEA are currently carrying out conceptual design of a module test facility test rig (“MTF test rig”). The MTF test rig is a facility for prototype component validation under fusion relevant heat flux, thermal-hydraulic and electromagnetic conditions.

In essence, this is a testing machine to simulate conditions inside a tokamak fusion reactor. As such, we have a design requirement for a strong, rapidly changing magnetic field. The purpose of this prior information notice is to start a formal market engagement for this magnet requirement. This magnet system will likely consist of both superconducting and resistive magnets.

Description of the procurement:
UKAEA are currently carrying out conceptual design of a module test facility test rig (“MTF test rig”). The MTF test rig is a facility for prototype component validation under fusion relevant heat flux, thermal-hydraulic and electromagnetic conditions. In essence, this is a testing machine to simulate conditions inside a tokamak fusion reactor. As such, we have a design requirement for a strong, rapidly changing magnetic field.

With this prior information notice (PIN), UKAEA starts a formal market engagement with specialist scientific magnet manufacturers. Please review the technical information contained in this notice. If you wish to express an interest in this requirement, please send your contact details and any relevant marketing materials to the contacts provided.

The current concept design for the MTF test rig incorporates superconducting magnets to create the high static magnetic fields desirable for fusion relevant testing of the sample under test (SUT). Additionally, resistive coil(s) are oriented orthogonally to the superconducting pair, and apply a pulsed field in a direction normal to the static field.

The scope of supply shall be the design and manufacture of the complete magnet system including power supplies. Installation and acceptance tests for the complete magnet system on the UKAEA site (in the United Kingdom) will also be included in the scope of supply.
