The transient operating performance of magnetic confinement devices is often limitedby one or two unstable MHD modes. The feedback stabilization of MHD instabilities is an area ofresearch that is critical for improving the steady state performance and economic attractiveness ofmagnetic confinement devices. This growing realization motivated a Workshop dedicated to feedbackstabilization of MHD instabilities, which was held from 11 to 13 December 1996 at Princeton PlasmaPhysics Laboratory. The resulting presentations, conclusions and recommendations are summarized.
