In nuclear physics, plasma containment refers to the act of maintaining a plasma in a discrete volume. For example, a toroidal fusion reactor is a plasma containment device. Electromagnetic interaction must often be used since plasma is ordinarily hotter than the degradation temperature of any known material.[1]
