In the period since thc Geneva conference of 1958, investigations using the large devices have been deemphasized in favor of more basic experiments. The pinch devices have been explored from many directions. At many laboratories effort has been turned to other projects, such as new plasma-injection techriques and a new containment scheme, the cusp geometry. A new and powerful heating mechanism resulting from the trapping or mixing of fields, which are then destroyed, is being studied at several laboratories. A serious question of energy loss, electron cyclotron radiation, applicable to all types of magnetic confinement where the plasma and magnetic field lines are in contact, has been discussed in exchanges between USSR and U.S. scientists. Three large experimental devices which were conceived several years ago are in the later stages of construction. These are the Astron at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, the Model C Stellarator at Princeton University, and the Direct Current Experiment No. 2 (DCX-2) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (auth)
