Phaedrus-T is a moderate sized tokamak with low toroidal field and substantial radio frequency power capabilities. This machine has only recently become operational and full RF power is expected in the next year. The initial studies include edge modifications due to variable phased antenna structures and RF helicity current drive experiments. Spheromak particle refueling tests will be started in the Fall of 1991. The tokamak is also being used as a test site for diagnostic development.
