For the hijc_rebco function in superconductors.py that calculates the critical current of the REBCO tape there is a fudge factor at the end of the function.
jcrit = (
jcrit
* (rebco_variables.tape_width * rebco_variables.rebco_thickness)
/ (rebco_variables.tape_width * rebco_variables.tape_thickness)
* 0.4
)
The 0.4 factor was introduced to scale the critical current under the assumption of using CORC style cables.

This is not in-line with what PROCESS assumes for the turn structure as a rectangular tape block is assumed.
