I don't know) is not my idea of a pleasant Sunday afternoon. How do you breach foam walls 2 meters thick? Even if you did (with a rocket launcher perhaps) you just fill the breach with foam blocks and fiber glass pink. Any breach of any shape (even a crack transecting the entire room) can also be permanently repaired by blowing in form-fitting urea formaldehyde (or equivalent) foam insulation. --- Brian Wowk P.S. If your patient care vault is accessible to "run-away" trucks, you are going to get serious damage no matter what storage modality you use. In fact, you will get *more* damage by knocking over LN2 and patient- filled dewars like dominos. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1991
