Re:LHC to shut down for a year to address safety concerns by gjm11 on Wednesday March 10, 2010 @09:51AM (#1180998)
All planned in advance. See, e.g., http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2010/01/29/...

Relevant quotation: "After a one to one-and-a-half year shutdown in 2012 to retrofit the rest of the machine and make other preparations, the LHC will attempt to double the energy, to 14 TeV in the center of mass, in 2013 and accumulate substantial physics data."
