## Narrative

A transport line containing liquid sodium bisulfite solution separated at a joint causing a release of SO2 gas.  Contractors working in the adjacent area of the S-300 plant were exposed to the SO2 gas.  The area was evacuated and flow to the line was isolated.  The released liquid sodium bisulfite was neutralized by applying soda ash and the area was secured and flagged off.
