Description

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is currently in the process of designing and installing 15 neutron beamlines, each aimed at supporting a diverse range of experimental techniques. These beamlines will provide scientists from various fields with unprecedented opportunities for groundbreaking research. The installation of the beamlines presents significant challenges, as both the infrastructure and the beamlines themselves are being planned and constructed concurrently, but at different stages. One of the most complex areas for beamline installation is the so-called "bunker area," which is located closest to the neutron source which is highly radioactive. From here, all instrument ports are radially distributed in close proximity to neighboring scientific instruments that host the neutron experimental stations. This poster aims to illustrate the installation process of the NMX beamline within the bunker area, highlighting the engineering challenges faced during the installation.
