Abstract:

This report gives a brief account of a four-day visit to selected installations and laboratories engaged in plasma physics and controlled fusion in Paris and vicinity. The four institutions visited were 1 the Laboratoire de Physique des Milieux Ionises located at the Ecole Polytechnique 2 the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas located at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Paris at Orsay 3 the Groupe de Recherches sur la Fusion of the Center of Nuclear Studies located at Fontenay-aux-Roses and 4 the Department de Physique du Plasma et de la Fusion Controlee of the Center of Nuclear Studies at Saclay. In each case the report describes only the actual installations visited, though an effort is made to present an overall picture. Author
