The reader has been introduced to a number of topics, taken from
Toka- mak research, in order to trace the the development of
applications of spec- troscopy in controlled fusion research over
the last 35 years, from the early toroidal devices like ZETA to
present-day Tokamaks. The subject of plasma spectroscopy has grown
in sophistication in terms of the expansion of the atomic processes
which have to be considered and their associated data base, the
complexity of the experimental techniques and the wide range of
diag- nostic applications. Plasma spectroscopy has increased our
appreciation of the subtle role of impurities in determining much
of the plasma behaviour. Control of impurities, by techniques such
as wall conditioning, magnetic divertors, pellet or atomic beam
injection and radiation mantles, offers a wealth of future
investigations. Acknowledgements The author would like to
acknowledge the help and inspiration he has derived from his
students past and present in writing this article. In particular he
is indebted toM O'Mullane for his technical help in preparing the
manuscript and whose research work is featured in the sections on
MARFEs and ion transport. References Abbey, A. F., Barnsley, R.,
