The new Large Hadron Collider, while working well at it's startup, has had 2 glitches since firing up over a week ago. On September 11, a 30 ton electrical transformer malfunction. Now, a helium tank has leaked. Both caused the collider to operate above it's nominal temperature of 2 to 4.5 Kelvin (-456.1 to -451.6F/-271 to -269C), which prompted the shutdown.
