PRINCETON PLASMA PHYSICS LABORATORY





Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a collaborative national center for plasma and fusion science. The Laboratory is
managed by Princeton University funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science. An associated mission for PPPL is to
provide the highest quality science education in fusion energy, plasma physics, and related technologies.
