Does no one care about that major accident in Hubei?

There were already a few related posts on the forum before...

Online reports indicate that poor welding quality of the valve for the main steam flow meter at the boiler outlet caused cracks in the welds; a large amount of high-pressure steam leaked out, breaking through the glass walls of the control room. The personnel in the control room died as a result of being exposed to the high-temperature steam, suffering burns and suffocation.

The secure version is currently the topic of much discussion; you might want to keep an eye on it.

It’s equivalent to a leak in the high-pressure steam pipeline, not an explosion

There are analytical discussions, but the amount of information is limited; the depth of these discussions is insufficient, and the professional depth is even less so

I’ve read several related posts

Hubei Dangyang Power Plant – a self-generated power plant. I specifically checked Baidu to find out the installed capacity of this plant, and I encountered many issues. Based on what I know, I’ll share my observations; please point out any errors I may have. 1. Reports online state that in 2016, this plant’s configuration was changed to one unit with 25MW of medium-pressure steam output, as opposed to a unit with 25MW of low-pressure steam output. It is also mentioned that the boilers were changed from medium-temperature and medium-pressure boilers to high-temperature and high-pressure boilers. Regarding the confusion regarding the above issue: Since the boiler has been changed from medium temperature and medium pressure to high temperature and high pressure, has the material of the main steam pipeline been changed? Using materials designed for medium temperatures of 450 degrees in high-temperature main steam pipes is nothing short of murder. But design institutes should not make such basic mistakes. Here, it is necessary to review the drawings, select materials, and inspect the main steam pipes on site to ensure they are in line with the design. 2. Regarding the concern raised in the news reports about the leakage point being at the weld of the main steam flow meter valve, main steam flow meters are generally of the differential pressure type. Those who are familiar with power plants know exactly how large the diameter of the pipes leading in and out is; the amount of steam leakage shown in the pictures certainly cannot be caused by such conditions. Based on what’s shown in the pictures, it’s only an explosion or severe leakage in the main steam pipeline that could cause such leakage. The specific reason is hard to explain in detail. 3. This mainly applies to self-owned power plants. Currently, many such plants (chemical plants, aluminum plants, fertilizer plants, etc.) do not have a proper understanding of power plants; they consider them merely workshops within larger factories, giving them very little attention. They believe that only small amounts of hazardous materials are involved, and thus their awareness of safety issues is insufficient. Regarding this pipe rupture incident, it is not easy to simply determine the cause; further detailed inspections are required. As for HaiChuan, there is a greater need in the field of chemical engineering. The various workshops in this area differ significantly from one another, and each workshop has its own set of safety hazards; therefore, each workshop should manage the risk factors specific to itself. This pipe rupture incident serves as another reminder to the management that safety issues cannot be ignored; they must not sacrifice safety in order to protect the interests of downstream processes, nor can they assume that a certain process is inherently safe. (Although it’s said here that it generally doesn’t do much, that’s indeed the case; those who have worked with it in practice understand this.)

I agree with the third point mentioned by the original poster. Most chemical plants are dominated by chemical production facilities, while their own power plants are considered auxiliary, which may lead to corresponding neglect
