Abstract
The recognition of the need for an intermediate CTR experiment, to be constructed before the first experimental power reactor (EPR) is discussed. This device, called the next step (TNS), is the logical successor of the Technology Test Assembly with Plasma (TTAP) concept. The TNS has derived its basic function from the TTAP; namely, operational testing of EPR-relevant technologies and plasma control techniques. The technical reasons which militate against the possibility of successful EPR construction of 1985 are discussed. The scientific and technological reasons which favor completion before 1985 of a TNS facility which would accomplish many of the purposes of the EPR are described. (MOW)
