Description

A review is given in six chapters on current trends and achievments of tokamak research in USA. 1. Introduction 2. A recapitulation of the tokamak principle. 3. New records for beta; a new operational mode (H-mode) in Divertor plasmas. 4. Dependence of achievable poloidal βsub(E) as well as of the energy confinement time tau sub(E) on the heating power as resulting from a) tangential neutral particle heating in the ISX-B tokamak, b) normal neutral particle heating in the TDX tokamak. 5. Report on direct current drive through Lower Hybrid Resonance radio frequency in Alcator C and in PLT. 6. First operation of TFTR D-T experiment in Princeton. (G.Q.)
