The first IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on Pellet Injection and Toroidal Confinement, sponsored jointly by the IAEA and the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP), Garching, was held at Gut Ising, Upper Bavaria. The local organizing committee was headed by M. Kaufmann of IPP. The Meeting followed the traditions of previous international workshops on pellet fuelling, the last of which was organized by ORNL at La Jolla in 1985. Because of the substantial improvement in the plasma parameters of pellet fuelled tokamak discharges recently achieved in different laboratories, this Meeting was primarily devoted to the discussion and analysis of the confinement properties of pellet fuelled tokamak and stellarator discharges.
