Abstract
The applied research in the thermonuclear fusion area is directed towards t he design of a commercial reactor. In such a reactor, the room required for the probes deputised to measure the magnetic field for the identification step of the control system must be kept to a minimum, and the number and po sition of probes must be optimised A Possible approach to the optimal choic e of a set of magnetic probes for the reconstruction of a magnetostatic fie ld, based on a statistical approach, is presented and discussed.
