The goals of this Program as discussed in the DOE-Magnetic Fusion Program Plan and in the Technical Program Activity, have two parts: development of a better understanding of the underlying physics of toroidal devices and the development of the stellarator as a candidate reactor, and as a source of building blocks for other toroidal reactors, such as the tokamak-stellarator hybrid. This paper briefly discusses these concepts. 3 refs.
