Abstract: We present a status report on the magnet system for the Tokamak Physics eXpe.rimexWX), a machine with a major radius of 225 m and a minor radius of 05 m to be built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. in which all main coils will use cable-in-conduit superconductors.The 1 O i l toroidal field system must produce a 4T field at the plasma center (8.4 T peak field) and accommodate about 5 k W of steady-state heating from nuclear heating, eddy currents, and thermal radiation in the windings.The poloidal system provides a plasma initiation voltage of 20 V and a total flux swing of 18 Wb to ramp the plasma current to 2 MA and provide a short flat-top.The poloidal system consists of 14 individual coils arranged symmetrically above and below the machine midplane, connected to allow either double-null or single-null plasma configurations.
