Another pump accident
'On Monday, January 28, 2002, a clean coal filter drain pump exploded due
to steam build up within the pump, inflicting fatal injuries to the
fine coal operator at a preparation plant of an underground mine. The
victim was standing approximately 8 feet away at the on/off switch when
the pump cover struck him. The pump overheated after almost all liquids
had been pumped from the filter drain tank causing the remaining fines
to solidify, thus preventing flow. The inlet and discharge lines then
became clogged with coal fines causing the pump to become a closed
pressure vessel".Read about the accident in this link.

Incomaptibile chemicals cost you!
A radiation leak from a drum containing radioactive waste at an underground nuclear waste dump in New Mexico was caused by “chemically incompatible” contents, including cat litter, that reacted inside a barrel of waste and caused it to rupture. It is reported that cat litter containing silicates is purposely used as a stabilizing agent in nuclear storage for stabilizing radioactive nitrate salts. A scientist inadvertently used an organic brand of cat
litter which does not contain silicates. After some days, the nitrate salts in the barrel heated up, releasing hot gases, pressurised the drum and ruptured it.
The damage caused a radiation leak that will cost approx. USD 240 million to clean up!

This is not an April Fools day joke!!!!!
