The PSFC consists of five interrelated divisions:
- Alcator C-Mod Project: Compact, high magnetic field tokamak
- Fusion Technology and Engineering
- Physics Research Division
-
- Fusion Theory and Computation Group
- Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX): Levitated dipole magnetic confinement (collaboration with Columbia University)
- Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF): Magnetic reconnection studies.
- High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) Group
- Advanced Plasma Diagnostics Group
- Ionospheric Plasma Research Group
- Plasma Technology
- Waves and Beams
