“…Fortunately, ITERrelated measurement programs are beginning to supply some of these data [e.g., Fabian et al, 1993;Fabian and Reed, 1994]. Since 4-K and other cryogenic temperature data are often not available, 295 -K data are also supplied in this review.…”

Results of a literature search on the cryogenic properties of candidate inorganic insulators for the ITER'*' TF* magnets are reported. The materials investigated include: AI 2 O 3 , AlN, MgO, porcelain, Si 02 , MgAl 20^, Zr 02 , and mica. A graphical presentation is given of mechanical, elastic, electrical, and thermal properties between 4 and 300 K. A companion report* reviews the low temperature irradiation resistance of these materials.Key words: cryogenic properties, electrical properties, inorganic insulation, ITER magnets, mechanical properties, thermal properties FOREWORD For insulator downselection and design, data are required on the 4-K compressive and shear strengths and the electrical breakdown strength. However, for most of these inorganic insulators, very few measurements of these and other 4-K properties were retrieved in the literature search, with the notable exception of thermal properties, which have been adequately measured for most of the candidate insulators. Using existing bibliographic data bases to locate cryogenic data is difficult, owing to the inadequate indexing of the data bases and the circumstance that much basic cryogenic information predates 'Materials Reliability Division, Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory. Technology, Boulder, CO. 430 pp iii the effective date of the databases. Therefore, additional "manual" searching was done, often with excellent yields, to supplement the on-line retrieval systems.However, these procedures are extremely time-consuming.

Abstract. For the U.S. fabricated ITER Central Solenoid (CS), six, almost identical, modules will be fabricated, then stacked together. The electrical insulation systems of the CS modules consist of turn, layer, and ground insulation. These electrical systems also serve to bond the coil conductors together. For this purpose, an epoxy resin is transferred into the coil assembly using a carefully designed vacuum-pressure impregnation process. The most important testing procedures, data, and design criteria for the key low-temperature, mechanical, and electrical properties are reviewed. Design of these systems is discussed.
