The accelerator site lost power last night for approx. 5 hours. This
should not have been a problem for the FEWS since we are, in principal,
covered by the emergency generator. In practice, however, there are two
problems. 1) the battery backup for the bench was not plugged into the
emergency outlet (blue and white checkered) and 2) there is no battery
backup for the PLC so the small ((millisecond level) delay to switch to
emergency power is enough to interrupt the process. There was no problem
recovering this morning.
