NEWS RELEASE | 24 July 2020
NSC Favourable Recommendation for Extension of Initial
Authorisation
Berkeley Energia Limited ("Berkley" or the "Company") notes that
the Board of the Nuclear Safety Council ("NSC") has issued a
favourable report for the extension of the validity of the Initial
Authorisation for the uranium concentrate plant as a radioactive
facility at the Salamanca project ("NSC I") following a board
meeting held on the 22 July 2020. The Company has not received any
official notification from the NSC, however it notes that the
outcomes of the NSC board meeting were published on their website
on 23 July 2020.
The Initial Authorisation for the uranium concentrate plant as a
radioactive facility was granted in September 2015 by the then
Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, with a 5-year validity
period. The favourable report issued by NSC considered that the
circumstances and characteristics of the uranium concentrate plant
are the same as those contained in the Initial Authorisation issued
in 2015. The next step is for the Ministry for Ecological
Transition and the Demographic Challenge to approve this
authorisation and set its duration period.
Subsequent to the grant of the NSC I, the Company applied for
the Authorisation for Construction for the uranium concentrate
plant as a radioactive facility ("NSC II") in 2016. In late March
2020, the Company formally submitted the updated official
documentation in relation to the NSC II and have since held a
number of meetings (via teleconference calls) with the NSC
technical team to discuss and clarify minor queries on the updated
documentation. The next step in the process is for the NSC
technical team to now finalise its report and submit it to the NSC
Board for ratification.
