This <SPAN id=DWT2002 class=ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED>spallation</SPAN> source distributes thermal and cold neutrons to a large variety of state-of-the-art neutron instruments, at which researchers from academia and industry will investigate scientific questions. <SPAN id=DWT2003 class=ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED>ESS</SPAN> plans to deliver its first neutrons in 2019 and reach its full design specifications in 2025, with a suite of 22 research instruments.
