The present disclosure provides a method that facilitates the formation and maintenance of new High Performance Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs). The method comprises generating a magnetic field with a magnetic system coupled to a confinement chamber, diametrically opposed FRC formation sections, and divertors; gettering the confinement chamber and the divertors with a layer of gettering material; generating an FRC in each of the formation sections; and translating each FRC toward a midplane of the confinement chamber where the FRCs merge into a merged FRC. The method further comprises injecting neutral atom beams into the merged FRC from neutral atom beam injectors; injecting plasma into the merged FRC from axial plasma guns; and electrically biasing open flux surfaces of the merged FRC with one or more biasing electrodes.
