Abstract:
Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is a follow-up of the successful stellarator W7-AS and is presently being
built at the Greifswald branch institute of IPP. One of the main parts of the stellarator is the cryostat,
which provides the thermal protection of the coil system. Construction of the cryostat of W7-X is
based on the experience gained during design, construction and test of the demo-cryostat [Fusion
Eng. Des. 56–57 (2001) 861]. The design of the main components of the cryostat, in particular the
plasma vessel, the outer vessel, the ports and the support structure is finished, and manufacture by
European industry has started.
