Abstract :
Summary Form only given, as follows. Design and construction of the Confinement Physics Research Facility (CPRF) and the reversed-field-pinch fusion experiment ZTH are continuing. Integrated system checkout is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 1993. First operation will be at up to 1.7 MA plasma current with 2 MA upon the addition of power supplies and 4 MA by the addition of power supplies and upgrading of key components. Site separation is continuing, installation of the 1420 MVA generator has begun, some magnet coils have been received, construction of the torus is underway and all components are at or near the final design stage.<>
