Nick,
The linac part is long and mostly far away.
We were in the campus part.  They are pretty safety oriented there, so I 
wasn't concerned.

When I was at MIT, the Plasma Fusion Center had their computation 
facilities a floor above the magnets, and when there was a pulse, all 
the monitors got really weird & wavy.  The place looked just like a 
movie idea of a mad scientist's lair -- a raised dais with a semicircle 
of 10ft tall racks of equipment with blinkenlights and oscilloscopes, 
every one showing a sine wave.

0R73,
