This paper summarizes several studies of fusion reactors based on the compact torus (CT). A wide variety of reactor configurations can be projected within present understanding of the possible types of CT and their macroscopic stability and confinement properties. Three types of CT are considered here, the field-reversed-configuration having B oroidal 0, the Spheromak with 0, and CT s formed with particle rings. 

In the following discussion, various reactor designs will be considered in the broad categories FRC, Spheromak, and particle-ring CT based reactors.

Let me stress that the shielded supports area main feature of the Intrap concept. In this respect the number of internal rings is a secondary question. I have taken a single ring as an example. Moreover, the plasma stability problem in this particular case comes close to that of the plasma in Ravi SUDAN S particle ring system. Thus, concerning plasma stability, there is a connection between the spheromak, FRC and Intrap concepts.
