The technological, political, and economic status of magnetic fusion research in the United States is discussed. Governmental and political scenarios for the development of magnetic fusion are assessed. A range of research is reviewed, including such programs as the Compact Ignition Tokamak, the Jet, TFTR, and JT-60 tokamaks, the DIII-D reactor, laser fusion reactors, and the Tritium Systems Test Facility. Management organization requirements and structures are developed and evaluated for overall reactor research and development planning. Busgetary constraints and opportunities for magnetic fusion are evaluated. The technical aspects include heating and diagnostics strategies.
