The new quality of the superconducting fusion device Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is its potential of steady state operation. W7-X is also a very complex technical system. In these two aspects W7-X compares to other super conducting fusion devices (ITER, KSTAR, EAST, SST-1, Tore Supra, JT-60SA, and LHD)....
