Today, F4E Director Didier Gambier signed the Procurement Arrangement (PA) between F4E and the Japanese Atomic Energy Agency regarding Europe’s contribution of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) current leads to the JT-60SA project. The JT-60SA project is one of the three projects which are jointly being implemented within the Broader Approach Agreement. This PA defines the terms of delivery of the "in-kind" contribution as 26 HTS current leads which will be designed, constructed and tested by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Delivery of the first current leads to Japan is foreseen for 2014.
