Today's explosion occurred during a test to increase the internal pressure of the heat exchanger.
It is believed that a large iron cover that could not withstand the air pressure in the tank was thrown off and hit the workers.
Since last month, Yeocheon NCC has been cleaning the heat exchanger through a partner company.
