Investigations on CTS in the institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1976

The main trends and the results of researches carried out in the controlled nuclear fusion in the institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR for the period 1975-76 are presented. The experiments carried out on the L-2 stellarator, investigations in SHF and in adiabatic heating of plasma on the ''Tuman'' facilities, studies of multimirror systems and of systems with rotating plasma have been described. The progress in the corpuscular diagnostics and in investigation of elementary processes in atomic collisions, in the production of power high-energy atomic beams, in the automatic control of processes in plasma has been presented. The results of researches carried out with materials for thermonuclear facilities have been displayed
