Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of controlled thermonuclear fusion studies performed at the KIPT on the specific stellarator-type experimental installations commonly referred to as “the torsatron”. Detailed data are reported on the operating thermonuclear facility “Uragan-2M”, the research results obtained with it, and also, the prospects for its use as a reactor. The advantages of the torsatron of this type are described, among them being the wide-range parameter variation capability. This is of importance for finding out the regularities related to plasma stability, heating and confinement.
