Fusion research in the Plasma Physics Laboratory is centered at the STOR-M tokamak, a doughnut shaped toroidal magnetic confinement device designed and built for basic studies of tokamak physics and technology development including Compact Torus injection, magnetic helicity injection for current drive, anomalous transport, and novel tokamak operation scenarios. The experimental program is corroborated by theoretical and computational studies on tokamak stability and anomalous transport with an ultimate objective of developing economically competitive fusion reactors with high beta and steady state operation. (Beta is the plasma pressure normalized by the magnetic pressure.) Tokamak performance can be improved by tailoring radial profiles of plasma current and pressure and CT injection has a potential to achieve it. STOR-M is the only tokamak in Canada and it continues to provide students and PDFs with training opportunities in advanced fusion science which is vital for maintaining and furthering Canadian expertise.

等离子体物理实验室的聚变研究集中在STOR-M托卡马克装置上，这是一种环状环形磁约束装置，专为托卡马克物理和技术开发的基础研究而设计和制造，包括致密环注入、用于电流驱动的磁螺旋度注入、反常传输和新颖的托卡马克操作场景。托卡马克稳定性和反常输运的理论和计算研究证实了该实验方案，最终目标是开发具有经济竞争力的高贝塔和稳态运行聚变堆。(β是由磁压归一化的等离子体压力。)托卡马克的性能可以通过定制等离子体电流和压力的径向分布来改善，CT注入有可能实现这一点。STOR-M是加拿大唯一的托卡马克，它继续为学生和PDF提供先进聚变科学方面的培训机会，这对保持和进一步发展加拿大的专业知识至关重要。
