FRC Facilities

• Los Alamos: FRX-A/B, FRC-C/LSM

  • 20-60 cm diameter devices - investigated scaling, translation, compression

• UW: TRX, LSX, LSX/mod-TCS, STX

  • 20-80 cm diameter devices - investigated large s stability
  • now developing RMF current drive

• PPPL: MRX, (Proposed SPIRIT)

  • study of merging FRC formation and basic reconnection physics
  • propose to form large, oblate FRCs and sustain with NB

• Osaka U: FIX

  • 27 cm - 80 cm translation device - low density FRCs

• Tokyo U: TS3 - merging formation of FRCs

• Nihon U: NUCTE - FRC shaping and n=2 stability

• Troitsk: TOR, BN - FRC formation and liner compression
