As part of an ongoing process of exploring innovative confinement concepts (see letter from Anne Davies & the ICC link), three program areas have proposed elevating the research effort in these respective areas to the Proof-of-Principle stage. These proposals were reviewed by an ad hoc panel on June 8-12, 1998. The links for the program proposals, summary of the technical reviews, and program responses (in pdf format) are given below:
1. Compact Stellarator
2. Magnetized Target Fusion
3. Reversed Field Pinch
