Check out the world of fusion energy research! The Laboratory's Information Services staff arranges on-site tours for groups of ten or more. Participants must be high school age and older. Tours are free of charge and by appointment only. Individuals who would like to tour the Laboratory may join a scheduled tour group. Tours generally occur Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Occasionally, special arrangements can be made for evening and weekend tours. A minimum of two weeks advance notice for group tours is required.

PPPL Scientists and engineers conduct most of the tours. Guided tours take about two hours and include a short, introductory video and presentation about PPPL and fusion research, followed by a visit to one or more of the experimental areas. A highlight of the tour is the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), the Laboratory's newest fusion device, when it is available. NSTX is not open for tours when it is operating.
