Still unclear situation at Mongstad – news Vestland


17 November 2022 at 10:04 Still unclear situation at Mongstad At 10.00, the 110 central tells news that the temperature in the acid tank at Mongstad Base has slowly started to rise again. This means that the situation has not yet been clarified. The fire service previously said that they had control since the temperature had then dropped. Now they are considering cooling the tank down by splashing water on it. The acid tank can explode or develop toxic gases if the temperature gets high enough. – But we are still well within the margin, says guard commander Jostein Steinsland-Hauge at the 110 central. A safety zone of 100 meters has been set up.
