Popis:	We studied ballooning instabilities in tokamaks of arbitrary cross sections and finite shear. These azimuthally localized, ideal magnetohydrodynamic modes have large toroidal-mode numbers, but finite variation along the field and across the flux surfaces. Stability is determined by solving a second-order ordinary differential equation on each flux surface, subject to the proper boundary conditions. Qualitative agreement is achieved with the Princeton PEST stability code.
