Shock wave from the 24-Nov CME passing ACE and registering in the
soft proton channels at around 330:21:00 and the SOHO shock monitor
at 330:21:21.  ACE EPAM P3 rates reached a maximum of ~400,000, but
this appears to be a relatively brief event.  After the inital high,
the ACE rates are hovering around 100,000 +/-.

--------------------------
Radiation Telecon Notes:  An initial telecon, as a result of the ACE
triggers, was held at 330:2145.  At this telecon, it was decided that
the rates (running ~100,000) would be watched for the next 1.5 hours,
and another telecon would be convened at 330:2330GMT.  If ACE EPAM P3 
rates were below  40,000 and still declining at that time, we would
agree to delay any safing action until (at least) the next COMM.  If
above this value, we would manually run SCS107 to safe the instruments.

The ACE rates dipped to the 20,000 range just prior to the
330:2330 telecon.  Due to the instablility, it was viewed as beneficial
to get an intermediate COMM before the next scheduled one.  The OC
obtained a COMM at  331:0430.  However, during the telecon the rates
rose again to 76,000, and based on this instability and the probability
that we would likely exceed the ACIS budget even before the new COMM,
the decision was made to safe the instrument by running SCS 107 at approx.
331:0000.
