Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research (Summaries of the 13th IAEA International Conference, Washington, DC, United States of America, 1–6 October 1990)

Experimental research on tokamaks still constitutes the largest part of the controlled fusion programme. At the conference, 220 papers were presented, of which approximately 140 were connected with tokamaks. About 70 reports covered experimental research on tokamaks. Experimental results were reported from 27 tokamaks. A large amount of the important experimental information had been obtained in the large tokamaks JET (Euratom), TFTR, DIII-D (USA), JT-60 (Japan) and ASDEX (Germany).
