No access to LHC from 7 to 13 January 2008
From 7 to 13 January 2008, tests of the LHC access system will be carried out to validate its role in the operational safety of the LHC. During this period, no access will be permitted to the controlled zones of LHC: service zones, experimental areas and tunnels.
Access to the machine shafts and the tunnels will only be possible for emergency interventions coordinated with the CCC operators or for fire brigade interventions. The biometric access card integrated with the dosimeter, as issued by Bldg. 55, must be used to access these areas during this period.
Access to the experimental caverns will be managed by the respective technical coordinator.
After the tests, the access system will be restored to installation mode, i.e. access will again be possible using the CERN access cards for authorised personnel. Please communicate this information to your contractors.
Thank you in advance for your comprehension and collaboration.
