Executive Summary
This report details the design and construction of the Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration 2 (PFRC-2) device, aimed at producing stable, quasi-steady-state, high-beta plasmas at kilovolt temperatures. Key innovations include the use of a machinable polycarbonate vacuum vessel, internal high-temperature superconducting (HTS) passive flux conservers to stabilize plasma equilibrium, and an upgraded 200-kW odd-parity rotating magnetic field (RMFo) radiofrequency heating system.
