    ''"The key organisational factor that contributed to the incident was a failure to implement effective process safety practices that would have increased the likelihood of identifying and managing the risks associated with replacing the new Unit C4 battery charger and bringing it into service," the draft Brady report said."

    Blah blah blah ... so says one forensic engineer, Dr Sean Brady.
    In a statement, a CS Energy spokeswoman said that what was released today were "Dr Brady's draft opinions".

    And the ABC smashes coal fired boilers because they are bad.
    The failure had nothing whatsoever to do with coal.
    It was a battery charger backup failure.
    Electrical fault.

    "The report found that on May 25, 2021, a new DC system with a battery charger had been commissioned and was being connected to the C4 unit.
    "Voltage unexpectedly dropped to zero, causing a trip in the AC system," Mr Busine said.
    "The loss of the AC system then prevented the recovery of the DC system."
    This meant the power station unit could not disconnect from the grid or shut down safely.
    "Ultimately the turbine generator went from generating electricity to consuming electricity," Mr Busine said.
    "It became an unstoppable sequence of events which led to the emergency evacuation of the site ahead of the destruction of the generator."
    The turbine generator spun, and this, alongside the loss of other critical systems like lubrication oil pumps, caused the explosion."
