NarrativeAt 10:50 a.m. on April 2, 2019, three employees were working at a processing facility when a fire erupted in an old control room, near reactor K5. Employee #1 successfully extinguished the fire. As Employee #2 was approaching reactors K8 and K9, Employee #3 activated the fire water monitor next to a hot oil area located on the west side of the main control room. Around the same time, the housing of a three-inch Y-strainer of an isobutylene line, which fed into reactor K8, ruptured. Isobutylene vapor was released and ignited. An explosion occurred in the reactor area and spread to a dry storage area. Employee #1 suffered sharp force injuries that affected the upper extremity and brachial artery on his right side, killing him. Employees #2 and #3 sustained thermal burns, which they were hospitalized and received treatment.
