The federal agency that investigates chemical accidents on Tuesday said the deadly blast at West Fertilizer Co. was preventable and called on regulators to take additional steps to reduce the risk of another catastrophe. State and federal regulators, he said, should restrict the amount of ammonium nitrate stored at any one time, require safer blends of the chemical to make it less explosive and order facilities to use fireproof, concrete structures to hold the fertilizer.
