- Basic Plasma Science Facility (BPSF) - At UCLA, BPSF is a place to perform frontier-level experiments that require physical conditions not suitable for small devices. The facility provides an environment in which teams with complementary expertise (e.g., Laser Induced Fluorescence or High Power RF) can come together to attack problems that they would not pursue individually. The operational procedures foster the exchange of technical information across diverse areas of research (e.g., fusion studies, space investigations, laser-plasma interactions, plasma applications) in which the basic properties of plasmas play an essential role.

- Compass-D - Highly flexible, medium-sized tokamak that has been specifically designed to address the key physics issues associated with magnetic confinement fusion. It plays a major role in the co-ordinated European fusion programme and is funded by the DTI and EURATOM, with additional support from EPSRC and various schemes for student grants.
