"Big Science" Descriptor : Magnetic fusion 



Description of Facility/Instrument : Hellotron-E is a medium-sized stel- 

 larator. It uses neutral beams and gyrotrons to heat the plasma 

 and Initiate the discharge. It is the first stellarator to initiate 

 discharge without using any inductive current drive.
