## Description
UKAEA is building a test rig to test components for fusion power plants in fusion-relevant conditions. This test rig incorporates superconducting magnets to create the high static magnetic fields desirable for fusion relevant testing of the sample under test. Additionally, resistive coil(s) are oriented orthogonally to the superconducting pair, and apply a pulsed field in a direction normal to the static field.
The scope of supply of this notice shall be the design and manufacture of the complete magnet system for the test rig including power supplies.
Installation and acceptance tests for the complete magnet system on the UKAEA site (in the United Kingdom)will also be included in the scope of supply.
