The Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) vacuum vessel and cryopumping system have attracted considerable interest within the fusion research community. Their extreme size, coupled with severe performance requirements and unique design features, justifies this interest. The planned expansion of the system to a tandem mirror configuration with thermal barriers further increases the engineering challenges of this complex facility.
