The 1987 fiscal year was marked by the return of the DIII-D tokamak to full productivity. This return was highlighted by noteworthy results over a wide range of topics including beta and the setting of record beta values, confinement, impurity studies, ECH heating, ICRF coupling studies, and current drive. The DIII-D device, with its new dee-shaped vacuum vessel was brought into operation during FY86, and extensive studies were performed during that year focused on establishing high quality 1 MA divertor and 2.5 MA elongated limiter discharges in preparation for neutral beam injection studies.
