The Cave Shielding is a fundamental element for the implementation of the T-REX project within the scientific instruments of ESS (European Spallation Source).
Description and Function
The Cave Shielding is a structure designed with heavy material walls and coverings, specifically constructed for two main purposes:
- To house scientific instruments and samples necessary for conducting experiments.
- To shield the external environment from radiation emitted during experimental activities, thereby ensuring the safety of operators and surrounding areas.
Project Objective
The intervention involves the creation of a technological and civil infrastructure that meets the specific needs of the T-REX project, ensuring that the instruments are installed in a protected environment that complies with the highest safety standards.
Importance of the Intervention
The Cave Shielding will not only provide the necessary protection against radiation but will also support research activities, reinforcing the role of ESS as a center of scientific excellence.
The design of this structure represents a strategic component for the success of the T-REX project, with a direct impact on the safety and efficiency of scientific operations.
