Hydrogen tank explosion at a power plant

Hydrogen caused an explosion at a power plant, killing two people and injuring 13 others. The station was subsequently shut down. The cause of the explosion was not reported. At first, sources reported that the incident occurred in hydrogen generation unit, later it was reported that it occurred at a hydrogen storage tank, located in a separate part of the power station and unrelated with the generator.

The sources of this event claimed tentatively various causes, from lack of safety supervision to unsafe working procedures to procedural non-compliance up to contaminated hydrogen (?). None of these claims seems based on convincing evidences.
