In a recent discussion of NST dangers, mentioned was made of the time
constant for
inductors to dissipate their stored energy.  It seems that you will need
some kind of
electromechanical apparatus perhaps to short out your inductors to meet the
1 second
requirement.

       Overall design seems to be shaping up!  If I lived in your area, I
certainly would
lend a hand.  First things first : facility rehab., insurance coverage,
funding/resource
sources and allocations.
