Alcator C-Mod was the third of the Alcator ('''''Al'''to '''Ca'''mpo '''Tor'''o'', High Field Torus) tokamak series, following Alcator A (1973–1979) and Alcator B (1978–1987). It was the largest fusion reactor operated by any university and was an integral part of the larger Plasma Science and Fusion Center.
