General Atomic Company's Doublet III tokamak now in its fourth year of operation, is dedicated to investigating non-circular plasmas. The first three years constituted the ohmic heating phase were circular, doublet, and dee configurations were studied. Reactor-like densities were achieved to assure adequate target plasmas for the neutral beam heating phase now beginning. Emphasis during neutral beam heating will be on does where IOMV of heating power will ultimately be delivered. Impurity control via magnetic limiters or simplified divertors will be further studed during the heating experiments. Electron Cycltron Heating (ECH) will add 1-2 MW of heating and provide for current profile control.
