    Since the title and summary are short on details, brace yourself, I read the article. From TFA:

    "Diesels cut in OK" noted the controllers, adding that the Meyrin site is now drawing limited grid power from an alternative connection via the Prevessin site. The boffins don't anticipate resuming operations until at least 12:00 local time today.

    So it was just a temporary glitch. Move along people, nothing to see here...
