The violations stemmed from an inspection last summer that revealed an alleged failure to provide workers handling hydrochloric acid and other dangerous materials with the necessary protection for face, hands and eyes.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday Applied Materials and China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group announced they have agreed to explore projects for accelerating the development and deployment of solar photovoltaic technology.
Research opportunities include research in the areas of compact energy storage and pulsed power, aerothermal protection systems for flight vehicles, high-strength and dielectric structural materials, and system interfaces between high-power loads and platform power distribution networks.
