Abstract
Abstract A superconductor which includes a housing of a highly pure copper having a slot therein for accommodating a plurality of monolithic superconductor members and a reinforcing member. A highly pure aluminum lid or cover is adapted to be disposed in an opening of the slot, with outer surfaces of the lid or cover having arranged thereon highly pure copper. The lid or cover, the monolithic superconductor members, the reinforcing member, and the housing are integrated and bonded together by a bonding material such as, for example, solder.
