Paladin Energy Ltd (TSX:PDN,ASX:PDN) reports that plant commissioning of the Kayelekera upgrades began 29 August as planned with a 4 day programme to get the plant online.
The press release is quoted as saying:
With the drying and packaging plant temporarily offline, the additional tank storage needed for collecting the wet uranium precipitate, requires extra reinforcement so that about 4 weeks of production can be held in front of the centrifuge process step. The centrifuge is used to pre-dry the yellowcake to 25% moisture content before sending to Langer Heinrich for final drying and packaging. This reinforcement work is expected to take one week to complete after which plant operation will commence.
