    Fengcheng power plant cooling tower collapse classified as particularly major accident

    On November 24, 2016, the construction platform of the Phase III cooling tower at the Jiangxi Fengcheng power plant collapsed, killing 73 people. A State Council investigation determined the direct cause was insufficient concrete strength and unauthorized formwork removal; the general contractor, Central Southern China Electric Power Design Institute, belongs to China Energy Engineering Corporation, and the group failed to effectively supervise safe production. The State Council held serious accountability, multiple people were sentenced, and China Energy Engineering was required to conduct a profound review.
