2. THE REGULATORY "HARD STOP": UNPERMITTED INSTALLATION
This is an industrial-scale server deployment in a Classroom/Office
environment—not a machine shop. A forensic audit of 317 municipal
records confirms this equipment was installed without permits,
violating NFPA 75/76 standards. This site is currently under active

a staged environment. A "sealed" machine does not represent
the unshielded state that injured me.

- SCENARIO B (Tested with panels OFF): You have professionally
certified an unshielded, broken, and unpermitted machine as
"safe" for a classroom environment.

scientifically dishonest.
