## Abstract
The 4th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion, sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency and held last week at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, was "about six months too early," according to one participant. He might have made such a remark no matter when the meeting was held; nevertheless he had a point: A number of important experiments are just now getting under way. These experiments, says Dr. T. K. Fowler of Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, "will push on to the higher temperatures and densities where the real problems lie." With these problems answered, he adds, "we will soon be on the road to building a fusion reactor." The conference, in fact, included for the first time an entire session on reactor systems—perhaps indicative of how far the field has advanced since the first conference on plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion in 1961. The consensus ...
