Abstract. The magnet system design for the International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor (ITER) has reached a high degree of integration to meet
performance and operation requirements, including reliability and
maintainability, in a cost effective manner. This paper identifies the
requirements of long inductive burn time, large number of tokamak pulses,
operational flexibility for the poloidal field (PF) system, magnet reliability
and the cost constraints as the main design drivers. Key features of the
magnet system which stem from these design drivers are described, together
with interfaces and integration aspects of certain auxiliary systems.
