Is the Super Particle Accelerator project dangerous to the world because the huge amount of un-controllable energy that can come free and they do not have enough devices/moutains for contamination ?

No, it is safe and no these particle accelerators have little to do with fusion which is also safe.

These devices accelerator particles to tremendous speeds but the total energy within the beam is comparatively small. Lets say that at any given time there are 10^13 particles in the beam all at an energy of 1 TeV then the total energy in the beam is a MJ. If there was an accident the ring would be damaged but you will be safe.

even with the undeniable fact that I easily have self belief that the scientists targeted on this employer might want to take each precaution to stay away from disaster, my own opinion is, no. there is too little universal about quarks, darkish remember, and black holes, that to target to recreate such circumstances is calling for some form of major disaster. i imagine that the physics in the back of such an project needs to be understood a lot more desirable helpful previously we attempt to construct something that could want to gas the earth right into a vortex of nothingness...(slightly dramatic outcome for punctuation)

Yes, it can cause a mini-black hole to appear , and then the earth or the surrounding star-system could be destroyed.
Also the possible appearance of non-logical-matter can cause a chain-reaction in which the atomic - structure of all living beings on earth could be destroyed.

So it is not a very smart decision to do such experiments.

No, fusion is inherently safe. Unlike fission, it cannot go into an uncontrolled runaway condition. If a fusion reaction escapes its magnetic containment field it will cool down below the sustainment point and will simply collapse.
