Subject: Door swing in NMR room?
X-To: "dchas-l**At_Symbol_Here**med.cornell.edu"
A question has arisen here with regard to the direction of the entrance door swing in a room containing an NMR. Some people have suggested that due to the asphyxiation potential of a quenching of the instrument, the door should swing out of the room into hallway. Does anyone know of a regulatory requirement for this or a reference that suggests that this be used as a best practice?
Thanks for any help with this.
