What happened at a non-rechargeable lithium battery factory in South Korea?

At least 22 people, most of them foreign nationals, were killed in a massive fire at a South Korean factory that manufactures non-rechargeable lithium batteries in Hwaseong city, just south of Seoul. The cause of the blaze is still being investigated. From pv magazine ESS News site

Are lithium-ion batteries causing fires in South Korea?

Senior ESS analyst Yuan Fang-wei of InfoLink Consulting noted that the successive fire incidents in South Korea have sparked wide discussions across industries and promoted lithium-ion battery energy storage. Like EVs, fires caused by lithium-ion batteries are still inevitable.

Why were fires in Korea socially constructed?

According to Chung, the fires in Korea were socially constructed by factors related to environments such as strong incentives, inadequate regulation, the different cultural backgrounds of the stakeholders, the tight coupling of various sub-technologies and miscommunication, the systematic pressure on profit-seeking, and a false sense of security.
