  • Abstract
    Most of the large magnetic confinement experiments today and in the near future use high-power neutral-beam injectors to heat the plasma. This review briefly describes this remarkable technique and summarises recent results as well as near term expectations. Progress has been so encouraging that it seems probable that tokamaks will achieve "scientific" breakeven before 1990.
