Instructions To Potential Users
It is imperative to realize that there are stringent safety
requirements connected with the use of the APRFR. All experiments will
follow a written test plan approved at APRF. In order to perform an
experiment with maximum usefulness and efficiency, it is essential
that APRF be contacted during the early planning stages of a potential
experiment. Failure to do this may result in erroneous experiment
planning as regards safety and use of exposure space resulting in
schedule delays, and possibly cancellation or drastic revision of the
experiment.
