  • Notas adicionales en la data
    The holder of the registration informs: "The possibility of a rupture in the quench tube, which may cause the helium gas to leak into the magnetic room or any other area near the quench tube. In rare cases, this helium gas may lead to a displacement of oxygen in the air causing danger by asphyxiation in people in the area. Other hazards, such as freezing, can be caused by the extremely low temperatures of helium gas. #### UPDATED ON 08/21/2017, the field action documentations submitted by the company are filed in the area. If necessary, the area can reassess the action at any time.
  • Causa
