The PEPCON disaster was an industrial disaster that occurred in Henderson, Nevada on May 4, 1988 at the Pacific Engineering Production Company of Nevada (PEPCON) plant. The chemical fire and subsequent explosions claimed two lives, injured 372 people, and caused an estimated US$100 million of damage. A large portion of the Las Vegas metropolitan area 10 miles (16 km) away was affected, and several agencies activated disaster plans. The PEPCON plant, located in Henderson, Nevada just outside of Las Vegas, was one of only two American producers of ammonium perchlorate, an oxidizer used in solid fuel rocket boosters, including the Space Shuttle and military weapons. The other producer, Kerr-McGee, was located less than 2.4 kilometers (1.5 mi) away from the PEPCON facility, within the area that suffered some blast damage. In addition to ammonium perchlorate, the facility also had a 16-inch (410 mm) high-pressure natural gas transmission line running underneath the plant.
