  This investigation report examines a vessel explosion that occurred on April 11, 2003, at

  D. D. Williamson & Co., Inc.,

  in Louisville, Kentucky.  The explosion caused a massive release of aqua ammonia. 

  Twenty-six residents were evacuated, and 1,500 people were sheltered in place. 

  This report identifies the root and contributing causes of the incident and makes

  recom- mendations on overpressure protection, hazard evaluation sys- tems, layers of protection,

  and operating procedures and training. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board

  (CSB) is an independent Federal agency whose mission is to ensure the safety of workers, the

  public, and the environment by investigat- ing and preventing chemical incidents.

  CSB is a scientific investi- gative organization; it is not an enforcement or regulatory body.

  Established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, CSB is responsible for determining the

  root and contributing causes of accidents, issuing safety recommendations, studying chemical

  safety issues, and evaluating the effectiveness of other govern- ment agencies involved in

  chemical safety.
