Abstract :
In October 1985, the Controlled Thermonuclear Research (CTR) Division began the design and construction of the Confinement Physics Research Facility (CPRF) and the ZTH toroidal, reversed-field-pinch (RFP), plasma physics experiment. An update is presented of the CPRF, a facility which will provide the buildings, utilities, pulsed power system, control system, and diagnostics needed to operate a magnetically confined fusion experiment. ZTH will be the first experiment operated in the facility. The construction of CPRF/ZTH is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 1993
