Abstract :
A method for the identification of the magnetic field configuration inside a RFP plasma, affected by a localized nonaxisymmetric perturbation, is presented. The knowledge of the magnetic field on a closed surface located around the plasma torus, together with a simplified plasma model, assures a unique solution for this inverse problem
