WHAT’S GOING ON AT ESS BILBAO EMU- MYRRHA TARGET The FAT tests for the drive unit have been done successfully. Currently the vacuum tests for the Shaft and CPipe are being carried out at the Thuneureka facility in Galicia. The Cassettes (spallation material + stainless steel structure) have already been assembled in the Target Wheel and the PBW welding process will start in the coming weeks. In the next months, the ESS Bilbao team will be ready for the integrated tests of all components. EMU-MYRRHA In 2020 ESS Bilbao, leading a consortium together ProActive R&D, was awarded a contract with SCK CEN for the public tender purchase of a “transverse emi ttance meter based on slit-grid systems for high intensity hadron machines” in the context of the devel opment of the li near accelerator of the MYRRHA / MINERVA project, for transverse characterization of the beam and com missioning of the LINAC. Within the consortium, ESS Bilbao is leading the tasks related to irradiation analysis, control system and emi ttance meter integration, and ProActive R&D and is also responsible for the design and manufacture of actuator systems (slits & grids) and tanks. The project is ongoing and has already successfully passed its Critical Design Review. 16
