The influence of a large electromagnetic force on the conductor of a demonstration power plant (DEMO) reactor magnet is a crucial issue. The present study summarizes the metallographic and bending strain property analysis of DEMO-candidate reinforced Nb 3 Sn wires in Japan. Here, EBSD strain analysi...
