explosion at the State Line Energy LLC coal power plant in the United
States underscore the critical importance of proactive safety measures
within coal-fired power plants. This incident, resulting in widespread
structural damage and fires, not only highlights the potential for
catastrophic events but also emphasizes the necessity of robust safety
protocols. Furthermore, the injuries sustained by numerous personnel,
including hospitalizations, serve as a stark reminder of the human toll
associated with industrial accidents, further reinforcing the imperative

for both units, following spontaneous combustion at the crusher house,
resulting in substantial damage to the coal forwarding lines and an
