Testing is scheduled to begin this month on the first of two gargantuan superconducting magnets that will plug the ends of the tandem Mirror Fusion Test Facility at Livermore. When construction of the 375‐ton magnet was begun three years ago, it was intended to serve as a single‐mirror machine. But in the wake of a successful small‐scale tandem‐mirror experiment at Livermore, it was decided last year to expand the MFTF into a tandem mirror machine, MFTF‐B (
