CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD
INVESTIGATION BOARD
Sunshine Act Meeting
In connection with its investigation
into the natural gas explosion that
occurred at the Kleen Energy power
plant in Middletown, Connecticut, the
United States Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board (CSB)
announces that it will hold a public
meeting on June 28, 2010, in
Connecticut. The purpose of the
meeting is to consider urgent safety
recommendations to the U.S.
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA); the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Gas Association (AGA); the
International Code Council (ICC) and
the Chair of the International Fuel Gas
Code Committee; the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); and
other parties that result from the CSB
investigation of this accident.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in
the Prince Edward Ballroom, Saint
Clements Castle, 1931 Portland-Cobalt
Road, Portland, Connecticut 06480.
At the meeting the CSB investigative
team will present its preliminary
findings on the circumstances of the
accident to the three CSB board
members and the public. The Board will
then receive testimony from a panel of
outside experts and other witnesses,
who will discuss the issues raised by
the case. Following a public comment
period, the Board is expected to
consider and vote on the draft safety
recommendations.
The meeting is free and open to the
public. Pre-registration is not required,
but to assure adequate seating, attendees
are encouraged to pre-register by emailing their names and affiliations to
kleen@csb.gov by Friday, June 25, 2010.
On Sunday, February 7, 2010, Kleen
Energy, a combined-cycle natural gas
fueled power plant under construction
in Middletown, Connecticut,
experienced a catastrophic natural gas
explosion that caused six deaths and at
least 50 injuries.
The accident occurred during the
planned cleaning of fuel gas piping, part
of the commissioning and startup phase
of construction. At the time of the
accident workers were conducting a ‘‘gas
blow,’’ whereby natural gas is forced
through the piping at a high velocity
and pressure in order to remove any
debris within the piping. The gas and
debris were subsequently released
directly to atmosphere. At the Kleen
Energy construction site, workers used
natural gas at a pressure of
approximately 650 pounds per square
E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM
04JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 107 / Friday, June 4, 2010 / Notices
inch gauge (psig) to clean gas pipes. A
total of 15 natural gas blows were
completed intermittently over
approximately four hours through a
number of open pipe ends which were
located less than 20 feet off the ground.
Efforts were made to eliminate or
control potential ignition sources
outside the power generation building.
However, many ignition sources existed
inside the building: electrical power to
the building was on, welders were
actively working, and diesel-fueled
heaters were running.
Initial calculations by CSB
investigators reveal that approximately
400,000 standard cubic feet of natural
gas were released to the atmosphere
near the building in the final ten
minutes before the blast. Just over 2
million standard cubic feet of gas were
released in total over the course of the
morning. At approximately 11:15 a.m.,
the released natural gas found an
ignition source and exploded.
The meeting will be videotaped and
an official transcript will be included in
the investigative file. All staff
presentations are preliminary and are
intended solely to allow the Board to
consider the issues and factors involved
in this case in a public forum. No
factual analyses, conclusions, findings
or recommendations of the staff should
be considered final. Only after the Board
has considered and approved the urgent
recommendations will there be an
approved final record.

General Counsel.
