From BBC: Collider 'needs warning system'

Quote:
An official investigation into the accident at the Large Hadron Collider has recommended that an early warning system be installed.

This system would detect the early stages of a helium leak, following an incident that has shut down the LHC until June 2009.
[...]
The report also confirmed the damage would cost £14 million to repair and that experiments will not begin until next summer.
ETA: more on Universe Today
