Goals of the PPPL AT Pilot Plant EM and Structural Studies Basic Sizing and Stress Analysis of the TF Case and Winding Pack Including OOP Show Non-Constant Tension D is Acceptable – Provides more Effective PF Usage. Reduces Mass of the Machine, Increases Peak Field Study Inner Leg Winding Pack Cross Sections and Jacket Shapes Rectangular vs. Circular, Radial Plates, Extruded Square Conductor Study Inner TF Support Concepts Wedged Only Bucked Bucked and Wedged Heat Balance Re-Position the Joints to the Bore? – Saves Radial Build Disruption Simulations of Tom’s in-Vessel Structures
