In order to investigate the collisional merging process of field-reversed configurations (FRCs), the FAT device has recently been upgraded to FAT-CM, consisting of two field-reversed theta-pinch (FRTP) formation sections and the confinement section.

Circuit is decoupled from reversal, with improved pulsed power reliability
– Ionization percentage is ~100%, with flat radial distribution
– High power circuits are implemented on C-2W (Norman)
