On January 8, 2001, Employee #1 was transferring a batch of resin from reactor Number 3 to a cooling tank.

At that time, a flash fire occurred in the reactor causing first and second degree burns to his face, neck and ears. His head and eyes were protected by a hard hat and safety glasses which were required by the company. He was transported to a hospital were he was treated and released.
