What Does TFTR Stand For?

TFTR stands for Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor

The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) was a significant experimental facility designed to advance the understanding of magnetic confinement fusion. Operated at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory from 1982 to 1997, TFTR focused on achieving and maintaining plasma conditions necessary for fusion reactions. Its research contributed valuable insights into plasma physics, magnetic confinement techniques, and the behavior of materials in a fusion environment, influencing the design of future fusion reactors and advancing the goal of sustainable energy through nuclear fusion.
