X-Message-Number: 2372 Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1993 15:50:18 MST From: "Richard Schroeppel" <> Subject: CRYONICS Moving to Phoenix A couple of other things to think about in a Phoenix site: (1) Proximity to a flood. In February, the Gila river flooded near Phoenix, nearly closing Interstate 10. Check that the new building is not too close to a wash, and the relative altitude of the basement. (2) Is air conditioning a problem? Pheonix has a number of near 110F days each year. This might be a trivial consideration, but I haven't done the numbers. Also, to what extent does patient safety depend on functional A/C for the ordinary building space? I assume LN2 boiloff goes up as the surrouding air tempaerature rises; does +30F matter? (3) Is the building too close to the airport? There's a small extra risk of being under a plane crash, and of being eminent-domained in an airport expansion.
