Discovered: Optimal magnetic fields for suppressing instabilities in tokamaks

I still recall what Dr. Robert Bussard (Of "Bussard Ram Jet" fame) said about Tokomaks.

"We spent 50 years studying Tokomaks, and what we learned about them is that they are no D@mn good."

Dr. Park was involved with analysis of data from Bussard’s final Polywell fusion test device several years ago. Perhaps it bore fruit in a fashion.
