Active control of islands by external means is also possible (cf. the 'Seek and destroy' technique, under development <ref>[http://www.rijnhuizen.nl/en/node/195 Seek and Destroy System for magnetic island control]</ref>).
Active control of islands by external means - in particular, Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive - is also possible (cf. the 'Seek and destroy' technique, under development <ref>[http://www.rijnhuizen.nl/en/node/195 Seek and Destroy System for magnetic island control]</ref>).
