3.
Experiments associated with the event,
-
for example:
tunnel shot with line-of-sight pipe from device
chamber to main tunnel shaft.
-
well-type shot with line-of-sight pipe.
-
various emplacements of sampling lines to obtain
samples of device residue.
These and other factors affect
the potential consequences of a shot.
They are all considered in deciding whether an event can be safely
conducted and establishing the necessary safety Support program.
