| 摘要： | About 12:05 a.m. on February 18, 1999, railroad tank car UTLX 643593, which was on the west unloading rack at the Essroc Cement Corporation plant near Clymers, Indiana, sustained a sudden and catastrophic rupture that propelled the tank of the tank car an estimated 750 ft and over multistory storage tanks. The 20,000-gallon tank car initially contained about 161,700 lb (14,185 gallons) of a toxic and flammable hazardous waste that was used as a fuel for the plant's kilns. There were no injuries or fatalities. Total damages, including property damage and costs from lost production, were estimated at nearly $8.2 million. The safety issues discussed in the report are: sufficiency of safety requirements addressing the procedures used for loading and offloading railroad tank cars and other bulk containers used to transport hazardous materials; adequacy of inspection and testing requirements for pressure relief devices on railroad tank cars; adequacy of provisions addressing changes in product service for railroad tank cars; and adequacy of the U.S. Department of Transportation "Hazardous Materials Regulations" pertaining to the notification and reporting of hazardous materials incidents. As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board made recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration, the Research and Special Programs Administration, the Association of American Railroads, the Railway Progress Institute, the Lyondell Chemical Company, the Olin Corporation, the Essroc Cement Corporation, and CP Recycling, Inc., and Affiliated Companies. The Safety Board also reiterated one recommendation to the Research and Special Programs Administration. |
