Fixing the world's largest atom smasher will cost at least 25 million francs ($21 million) and may take until early summer, its operator said Monday.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research recently said that the repairs would be completed by May or early June. Spokesman James Gillies said the organization know as CERN is now estimating the restart will be at the end of June or later.

The organization has blamed the shutdown on the failure of a single, badly soldered electrical connection.

The cost of the work will fall within the organization's existing budget, Gillies said.
Scientists have taken the setback in stride, saying that particle colliders always have such problems in the startup phase.

So $21,000,000 to fix that. Must have caused a chain reaction of other damage or they use mighty expensive solder. Wonder how long it'll be before scientists unleash something that'll wreck the planet, or worse?

That thing broke down because of a bad solder job? Is that right mike? How do they trust all of the welds on the stairs then? Yeah, I know.

I believe them soldered joints are in an adverse environment.
