Neutral beam injection heating of experimental plasmas confined in the PLT tokamak was initiated in the summer of 1977. Four injectors developed and fabricated by the Fusion Energy Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1)became operational by the spring of 1978, and hot plasmas were achieved in the summer of 1978. Since the total power injected into the tokamak simultaneously by all four beams fell short of that expected (3MW H/degree/) on the basis of single-beam test stand operation, and it had been quite difficult to drive some of the ion sources up to the higher power levels, injector improvement was attempted. It was possible to improve the ion source plasma generator performance by a relatively simple change in arc arc circuit.
