Abstract
The superconducting stellarator Wendelstein 7-X has completed the first three experimental phases, the first one with a limiter only and two phases with an inertially cooled carbon divertor configuration. The main mission of the latter two phases (the last one with two scraper elements) was to pave the way for the planned steady-state operation with high-power plasmas and a steady-state divertor. Presently, the device is being completed by installing a high-heat-flux (HHF) divertor and the corresponding water-cooling and ten cryo pumps in the divertor chambers. After this completion phase of W7-X, the device is ready for long-pulse divertor operation with heating power beyond 10 MW.
