Comment by JumpCrisscross 7 years ago Multi-story building. The floor could be, given enough gas, under. 3 comments JumpCrisscross Reply sebazzz 7 years ago If helium is small enough to get in a watertight phone, it is certainly small enough to dissipate in a probably not so watertight building. JumpCrisscross 7 years ago Quenching MRI magnets can suffocate people in the room they quench, and potentially the entire floor. I don’t know about a whole building, but just because something can dissipate doesn’t mean it can’t do damage in the meantime. warrenm 7 years ago Not true - the whole point of burst discs etc in MRIs is so that if a quench happens, the patients and any technicians in the room surviveVenting even a full MRI's worth of LHe (~1500l) as most will make you a little lightheaded for a few minutesThe risk of death from quench events is effectively non-existent
