The LHC beam-dumps[1] at CERN are also at that holy-shit-physics scale. A more explanatory article[2] also covers the superconducting magnet quenches, in which up to 10GJ of stored energy suddenly decides it really ought to be following Ohm's law again.

Any good refs for this disruption situation?
