Abstract
AbstractChina Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), a new tokamak device, is under concept design based on the expe-rience of Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) and ITER. Research and development of TF coil for CFETR is carried out by ASIPP. TF coil is winding by Cable in-Conduit Conductor (CICC). Main manufacturing process of CICC includes welding of jacket, draw lead, winding and global helium gas tightness test. After winding, the diameter of TF con-ductor is about 4 m and the weight is about to 30 t. This paper describes structural design of dewar which is used for the global helium gas tightness test for the TF conductor after winding. A global finite element model is created based on the design geome-try data to investigate the mechanical property of the dewar un-der static load and seismic load.
