Many third‐generation light sources have been commissioned over the past ten years, and the soundness of the principal design concepts has been well recognized through experiences at these facilities. Also, technological developments concerning third‐generation light sources have been remarkable. With the emittance and current of the beams far exceeding the previous levels, stability requirements of the beams have become much more stringent. In this report the present status of light sources, operational and projected, is summarized, and developments and future prospects of synchrotron radiation storage rings in view of accelerator physics and technology are reviewed.
