Subject: CRYONICS Concrete Vault

        I was walking through a concrete underground tunnel today.  I 
could not help but notice the multitude of small cracks in the floor.  
Yes, cracks.  This despite the fact that the tunnel was built *two* 
years ago, and only supports pedestrian traffic.
 
        This really gives one pause for thought about the water damage 
risks of an underground Cold Room.  Accordingly, I think the below 
ground concept should be abondoned in favor of a reinforced concrete 
vault beginning at ground level.  The "over-room" for patient and 
refrigeration system access will be on the second floor.
