My colleague at the Princeton University Plasma Physics Lab (a DOE facility) sent me this video from the Safe Conduct of Research (SCoR) at the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL). There was a hydrogen fire and explosion in one of their
fuel cell research labs in September 2018. This video highlights their incident investigation and lessons learned, and provides a good example of why it is necessary to continue to question and improve safety even for operations that have remained unchanged
for many years with no serious incidents. This video is very well done and very much appreciated.
Best,
Robin
