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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 107 / Friday, June 4, 2010 / Notices 31761 

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.
