In the ITER control room, cooldown has been initiated this week on the magnet cold test facility. D-shaped toroidal field coil #07 is the first magnet to be tested. Already locked in the cryostat, it will reach the temperature of 4 Kelvin (-269 degrees Celsius) in ten days. Then performance tests can start. Stay tuned! #fusionenergy #ITER #magnets #superconducting
