Massive steel drum completes 12-day trip from Bilbao to Lund
The European Spallation Source, a research infrastructure being built in Sweden based around the world’s most powerful neutron source, has received its first major technical component.
The ‘Monolith vessel’ arrived at the ESS facility in Lund on 26 October after a 12-day trip from Spain, where it was built by researchers at ESS Bilbao. The massive steel drum will hold a rotating wheel in which neutrons will be generated under vacuum conditions.
