FLOW CONTROL
Almost six months after two fatalities in explosions at U.S. Steel's Clairton Coke Works, operations at battery No. 13 will resume on Thursday. The explosions, occurring on August 11, led to extensive investigations and repairs.
The facility was on 'hot idle' since the incident to allow for safety checks. Production is set to restart on Friday, with a focus on operational safety and emissions monitoring.
