Abstract
A broad program of research on the confinement of plasma in nested toroidal magnetic surfaces is being carried out at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Tokamak research at PPPL is progressing into the phase of technology development, in preparation for the support of a large-scale reactor-oriented effort. World-wide experimental research has brought the stellarator concept to the point of plasma-physical demonstration; at PPPL, the theoretical study of reactor-compatible stellarator design is yielding promising new results. Initial spheromak formation experiments have been successful. The confinement properties of the spheromak will begin to be studied experimentally during the next year.
