In this report, we propose segment-fabricated high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets as candidates for the FFHR-d1 heliotron-type fusion reactor. The FFHR-d1 requires 100-kA-class superconducting conductors used at 12 T for a pair of helical coils. We fabricated and tested two 30-kA-class GdBCO conductors with bridge-type mechanical lap joints (mechanical bridge joints). This report details the design of the joint section and the experimental results of those samples, especially, those of their joints. We improved the geometry of the joint region in a second sample, based on our results from the first. The second sample has sufficiently low joint resistance (less than 5 nΩ), and we could apply 70 kA to it without causing quenching at the joint. Its joint resistance was also acceptable for providing the electric power required to run the cryoplant for the segmented HTS helical coils.
