Collider 'needs warning system' - DUH

by tango_fox1 Dec 5, 2008 5:15AM PST

After all this money and they NOW realise it needs a warning system.

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.
