V-G. Will cryonics patients thaw-out in a power failure ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Not likely. Cryonics patients are typically stored in liquid nitrogen "thermos bottles" (dewars or cryostats), not electric coolers. It takes weeks for liquid nitrogen to boil-off and extra liquid nitrogen is kept in reserve. Of course, a power failure of months or years duration would pose severe problems, but there would also be as much time to find solutions. No cryonics patient has ever thawed-out as a result of power failure − and one patient has been in storage since 1967.

ATCC: Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Remove the serum from frozen storage and place it overnight in a refrigerator at 2°C to 6°C. Transfer the bottles to a 37°C water bath. Agitate the bottles from time to time in order to mix the solutes that tend to concentrate at the bottom of the bottle. Do not keep the serum at 37°C any longer than necessary to completely thaw it.
