Investigation Summary
Some maintenance employees at an electric power generation plant were replacing a valve and performing inspections. After replacing the valve, the employees were inspecting clinker grinder teeth when a hydraulic door opened, and 71- to 77-degree-C hot water and ash covered the employees. One of the employees died of the burn injuries he sustained in the accident. (The original report did not list any of the other employees on an injury line.)
