VERBATIM: The plan comes three and a half years after hundreds of tons of improperly stored ammonium nitrate ignited at the facility, setting off one of the world’s biggest non-nuclear explosions. The French government funded the development of the plan presented by two French engineering firms. It will focus on rebuilding quays damaged in the explosion, reorganizing the port’s layout to streamline traffic, and shifting the facility to solar power.
