From page 17...
... Much progress has been made in this area in the past two decades, particularly in applied areas where there have been concentrations of effort, such as fusion, space plasmas, and plasmas relevant to defense applications. Examples include magnetohydrodynamic phenomena relevant to tokamak fusion plasmas, where the stability of these plasmas and the macroscopic dynamics of unstable plasmas are now quantitatively understood.
