(PhysOrg.com) -- The Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland has generated a lot of news of late, e.g. the announcement that a team had found what it believes to be a particle that traveled faster than he speed of light, an actual new particle, and of course the seemingly never-ending storyline associated with the hopeful discovery of the elusive Higgs Boson, now a physicist not associated with the project, has built a scale model replica of the ATLAS experiment; a particle detector that will likely serve as ground zero should the so-called “god particle” ever be observed.

* Russia says has almost doused fire on nuclear submarine * Radiation levels normal, nine injured * Nuclear reactors shut down, partial crew on board * Fire broke out during repairs at dockyard in northern Russia By Andrei Pronin MURMANSK, Russia, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday it had doused a raging blaze aboard a nuclear submarine after nearly a full day and night, by partially submerging the vessel after battling the flames with water from helicopters and tug boats. There was no radiation leak and crew inside the submarine were monitoring the stricken vessel's nuclear reactors which had been shut down, Russian officials said. At least nine people were injured fighting the flames which witnesses quoted by local media said rose 10 metres (30 feet) above the Yekaterinburg submarine at the navy ship yard in the Murmansk region of northern Russia.
