Abstract

The design for the Burning Plasma Experiment (BPX) poloidal field (PF) coil system has evolved through several stages of machine size and physics requirements. The result has been a firm basis for a conceptual design with a significant R&D supporting activity on critical components. This paper reviews the characteristics of the latest PF system design and various facets of the R&D activity in the program as the machine has progressed.
