New Jersey commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

New Jersey commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, a leader in magnetic confinement experiments using the tokamak approach. The laboratory, managed by Princeton University, began in 1951 as part of Project Matterhorn, a classified project studying the hydrogen bomb. It has since developed the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, which set a world record for fusion power. The laboratory continues to innovate, developing the Princeton Plasma Innovation Center and planning to repurpose the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor site as a Fusion Research and Technology Hub.
