A five liter, glass lined, liquified gas dewar exploded after workers completed a transfer of liquid nitrogen from it. The explosion propelled fragmented glass from both ends of the dewar. Fortunately, no one was in the path of the razor sharp fragments and no injury resulted. The dewar had been in use for only two years and no physical deterioration had been noted.
