Russian Scientific Research and Development Cable Institute (known by Russian abbreviation as VNIIKP) has been participating in ITER project since 1993 both at the early stage of Research and Development (R&D) and at the following stage of Engineering Design Activity (EDA). Tests of several short samples at Sultan test facility were crowned by successful testing of Toroidal Field (TF) and Poloidal Field (PF) insert coils performed in Japan in 2001 and 2008 correspondingly. Now VNIIKP is actively implementing the final production and delivery stage. By 2009 the full technological complex has been accomplished to produce PF cables for both the Russian Federation (RF) and European parts and TF conductors for RF part. In this review we present a short history of VNIIKP participation in ITER and our current achievements. The technology used and our production line are described in some detail.

-Critical mechanical structure of superconducting high current coils for fast ramped accelerator magnets with high repetition rates in long term operation E Fischer, P Schnizer, K Weiss et al. Abstract. Recent data from the design of new optimized options of NbTi composite wires and hollow cables for fast cycling synchrotron SIS100 at GSI and NICA collider at JINR are presented. The SIS100 new cable is proposed to be used for manufacturing of single-layer coil for dipole magnet with maximal amplitude of pulsed magnetic field up to 2 T. The cable should provide continues pulsed operation at the current amplitude of I = 13 kA and magnetic field ramp rate of dB/dt = 4 T/s. The results of experimental study of energy losses in the new wire and cable samples for SIS100 magnets are presented. The design cable parameters for the NICA 4 T dipole magnet are fixed at the level of I =17 kA and dB/dt = 1 T/s. The status of the work is presented and discussed.
