TL;DR: The TFTR tokamak has reached its original machine design specifications (Ip=2.5 MA and BT=5.2 T) by operating at low plasma current and low density (ne approximately=1*1019 m-3), high ion temperatures (9+or2 keV) and rotation speeds (7*105 m/s) have been achieved during injection.

TL;DR: The present status of the plasma confinement studies in the TFTR tokamak is described with emphasis on those with neutral beam injection (NBI), suggesting that the less-than-expected increase in stored energy with NBI is not due to problems of power delivery, but due to issues of confinement deterioration.
