Scope of the procurement
II.1.1)
Title:
MTF Test Rig — Magnet System

Reference number: T/TM019/19
II.1.2)
Main CPV code
31630000
II.1.3)
Type of contract
Supplies
II.1.4)
Short description:
UKAEA is building a test rig to test components for fusion power plants in fusion-relevant conditions. This test rig incorporates superconducting magnets to create the high static magnetic fields desirable for fusion relevant testing of the sample under test. 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 of this notice shall be the design and manufacture of the complete magnet system for the test rig 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.

UNITED KINGDOM.

II.2.4)
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 static magnetic field and a rapidly changing field.

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.
