LPG pipeline and Trans Siberian Railway explosion and fire
Report on an explosion and fire on the Trans Siberian Railway in June 1989 caused by leakage from an LPG pipeline (462 dead, 706 injured, a great many with burns up to 70-80%). The pipeline was reported to have been leaking for several days, with a gas cloud drifting for several miles and gas pockets forming in low-lying areas along the railway line. Turbulence caused by 2 passing trains mixed LPG mist and vapour with overlying air to form a flammable cloud which was sparked off by one of the trains. Other explosions and a fire followed. The blast was reported to be equivalent to 10,000 tons TNT, making it the largest known aerial explosion. A full investigation has been ordered.

A review of incidents involving the use of high-pressure oxygen from 1982 to 1985 in Great Britain
This review shows that in the four-year period studied, a total of 28 incidents occurred, which resulted in 16 people suffering injuries. These incidents involved the use of oxygen up to full cylinder pressure, but did not include those involving the use of oxy-fuel gas systems. Illustrative examples of incidents are often caused by the presence of contaminating materials exposed to high-pressure oxygen. It is also suspected that in some cases, the materials of construction of some components of the equipment involved were unsuitable for high-pressure oxygen service.

Assessment of missile hazards: Review of incident experience relevant to major hazard plant
The main part of this paper is devoted to a review of experience of incidents in which pressure vessels containing liquefied gases have suffered major failure. The modes and patterns of failure, which dictate whether fragments are projected and how many pieces the vessel break into, are discussed. The incident experience covers major failures of 138 vessels, the majority due to flame impingement. The information available varies from knowledge only of whether fragments were projected to virtually complete details of the failure circumstances, number, range and direction of projected fragments. This data has been analysed with a view to providing information which may be useful in assessments of major hazard plant.

An initial prediction of the BLEVE frequency of a 100 TE butane storage vessel
The object of this study was to develop an analytical method (fault tree) and use it to determine the frequency of a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE) occurring in a pressurised LPG storage vessel. A reference storage plant was specified and possible leak sources identified. The probability that a spillage would ignite was calculated for each source. The frequency of fire start was calculated and computer modelling used to estimate the increase in vessel pressure and temperature and hence determine those fires which could produce rupture conditions. Detailed fault trees were prepared and evaluated to determine a BLEVE frequency. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine those events which have the strongest influence on BLEVE frequency, and recommendations are made for reducing these event frequencies.
