We are in the process of changing the nitrogen tank that supplies the BNC, and as a result will be releasing a very large quantity of liquid nitrogen.  Think of this as “outdoor air conditioning!”  The result will be the formation of a large white cloud coming from the building.  This is not hazardous; it is just the result of very cold air being released into the atmosphere.
