As people around the country await the April 8 total eclipse, conspiracy theories about a Switzerland-based nuclear rese

CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, restarted its Large Hadron Collider after a regular winter stop for maintenance. CERN is not reactivating the accelerator in connection with the April 8 eclipse.

But CERN’s research is different. The primary research focus of CERN — an acronym derived from the French name"Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire" — is, or"the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces acting between them.

Tesauri told PolitiFact that the accelerator complex is restarted every year after a brief winter technical stop, when beam production ceases so that the accelerators can undergo maintenance. Restarting an accelerator like the Large Hadron Collider"requires a full commissioning process in order to check that all equipment works properly."

We rate the claim that CERN is activating its Large Hadron Collider in connection with the April 8 solar eclipse False.
