Inconsistency: LHC tunnel length stated as both 27 km and 27.6 km
The article contains two different figures for the length of the LHC tunnel.
In the introduction, the LHC is described as having a 27-kilometre-circumference. In the Colliders section, the same tunnel is described as 27.6 km: "It is housed in the 27.6 km tunnel which formerly housed the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider."
These two figures are mutually inconsistent. The actual circumference of the LHC tunnel (the former LEP tunnel) is approximately 26.659 km, which rounds to 27 km. The figure of 27.6 km is incorrect.
