In the fusion context, the term is used to describe:
* The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces (such as divertors, limiters, or walls).
* The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces (such as divertors, limiters, or walls) - also known as the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL).
* The boundary between the inside of a magnetic island to the surrounding region.
