Since the dawn of recorded human civilization, no physics experiment has ever been terminated after initiation just because of the presence of risk. Recognizing risk, taking precautions, and carefully verifying are the judgments made by rational people when facing the unknown.
This includes the controversial hadron collider experiments from the old era, and even the extremely dangerous fission nuclear power reactors.
The reason why the expedition team set the Seventh Research Institute near Shelter No. 404, far from the city, and painstakingly built the laboratory underground with nuclear explosion-level protection was precisely as a countermeasure against potential risks.
In the most extreme situation, the Alliance can destroy the laboratory and use megaton structure materials to completely bury any potential unstable "anomalies."
Every staff member on the roster is well aware of these potential risks.
