The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) is planning a major extension to the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) now under construction at Livermore, CA. This extension brings MFTF to a full tandem mirror configuration, incorporating new ideas for improved plasma confinement. The tandem MFTF is tentatively called MFTF-B. As with most magnetic fusion devices, the confinement coils dominate the overall configuration. This paper concentrates on the MFTF-B magnet configuration, especially field shaping and structural considerations. (MOW)
