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.
