In 2008, drawing from new experimental data and theoretical understanding, the LHC Safety Assessment Group (LSAG) published a report updating the 2003 safety review, in which they reaffirmed and extended its conclusions that LHC particle collisions present no danger.[21][22][23][24] The LSAG report was reviewed and endorsed by CERN’s Scientific Policy Committee (SPC),[25] a group of external scientists that advises CERN’s governing body, its Council.[21]
On 21 March, 2008, a complaint requesting an injunction to halt the LHC's startup was filed by a group of seven concerned individuals against CERN and its American collaborators, the US Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, before the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii.[18][26] Following the publication of the LSAG report,[22] the US Government called for summary dismissal of the suit against the government defendants.[27]
