Abstract: An EUV light generation apparatus includes a chamber having internal pressure maintained below atmospheric pressure; a first bellows pipe having one end connected to the chamber; a first cover member which seals the other end under atmospheric pressure; a holder connected to the first cover member and arranged inside the chamber in a state of holding an optical element; a stage mechanism connected to the first cover member outside the chamber and configured to change at least either a position or an angle of the optical element with respect to the EUV light; a fixing member which fixes the stage mechanism to the chamber; and a cancellation mechanism which is connected to the holder to be movable in accordance with change of at least either the position or the angle, and transmits, to the holder, a second load opposite to a first load applied to the first cover member.
