Its primary mission is research into and development of fusion as an energy source. PPPL grew out of the top secret Cold War project to control thermonuclear reactions, called Project Matterhorn. In 1961, after declassification, Project Matterhorn was renamed the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. PPPL is located on Princeton University's Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey.
