Notice Title

Cryostat with Superconducting Magnet, Test Sample current Leads and Variable Temperature Insert

Notice Description

The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is differentiated from other fusion tokamaks by the intent to utilise re-mountable joints for its magnet coils to facilitate ease of maintenance and commercial viability. This requirement is to provide a cryogenic test environment that is a representative of the expected operating environment of STEP and to enable UKAEA to test and develop re-mountable joints, in addition to other components. UKAEA wishes to appoint a Supplier for the Design, build, supply and installation of Cryostat with Superconducting Magnet, Test Sample current Leads and Variable Temperature Insert This includes: * Cryostat, * Integrated superconducting magnet its cryogenic current leads, * dedicated power supply for magnet, * The Unit Under Test (UUT) cryogenic current leads and a VTI This is fully detailed in Appendix 1 - Scope
