The Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) has been operational since November of 1980. It has been running consistently since August 1981 with a 300 kA plasma current flat top. Plasma parameters from a typical shot are shown. Start-up and operation of the machine is described in a separate paper. All units are now on line and operating within design parameters. Initial testing and changes necessary to assure specified performance is described. Discharge cleaning is employed in order to minimize vacuum system contamination. The optimized characteristics of this process are described.
