A comparative evaluation was made of several end plug configurations for tandem mirror fusion reactors with thermal barriers. The axicell configuration has been selected for further study and will be the basis for a detailed conceptual design study to be carried out over the next two years. The axicell end plug has a simple mirror cell produced by two circular coils followed by a transition coil and a yin-yang pair, which provides for MHD stability.
