Initial Study of Buried Communication Cable for Underground Mines.

摘要

The objective of this project was to perforn a preliminary study to determine the desirability/practicality of burying the communication cables in underground mines in order to protect then from the effects of fires and explosions. We conducted discussions with Government and industry specialists on the physics of mine fires and explosions, mine disaster fighting, rescue, and investigation activities, and on nine operations. In addition, we examined published, experimental work and selected detailed MSHA accident reports on fires and explosions in underground mines.
