Abstract
With a ceremonial ribbon cutting, Energy Secretary Donald Hodel (left) dedicated the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor in May at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, with PPPL director Harold Furth looking on proudly. TFTR is the first of a new generation of large tokamaks that are expected to achieve plasma conditions sufficient for the demonstration of “scientific breakeven” (see PHYSICS TODAY, March 1983, page 17). The first breakeven experiments at TFTR with a deuterium-tritium plasma are scheduled for 1986. The TFTR project is headed by Don Grove. Grove and Paul Reardon directed the construction of the $314 million tokamak.
