"scenario 1, announced load shedding, is 100% likely, several times this winter, probably not before Nov. 1"
"scenario 3, unannounced blackout, is unlikely"
"configuration 1,2,3 do not impact experiments"
"however, this is theoretical. if they do not actually reach the expected power reduction, they will switch off some experiments, starting with north and east area"
"half past 9 pm is also when we find out which hours to shed the next day"
"even in case of blackout, probably switch over to swiss power for experiments; this is a critical operation but has been tried and tested recently so probably seamless"
"in case of total blackout, first thing is to evacuate the site"
"AMS: at the ISS, agreement is power comes back within 4 hours. In 11 years, this hasn't failed.
--we can come in, work in the dark, computers are on UPS
--but do we have network, internet, on site?"
"answer: we don't know, probably not unless we generate a solution now..." |
