HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2001

ATG Inc. (Nasdaq:ATGC), a leading provider of low-level radioactive waste and low-level mixed waste treatment services, announced the appointment of Phillip L. Jordan to be its vice president of Finance and chief financial officer.

Jordan has extensive experience in the radioactive waste industry having served in the early 1990's as CFO for Pacific Nuclear Systems, later renamed Vectra Technologies, Federal Way, Wash. Jordan, 54, has earlier in his career served as a partner in a major CPA firm, an investment banker and investor, and a senior executive in several companies. ATG acquired certain Pacific Nuclear System's wet-waste business and the shipping cask/container operations and equipment in a 1998 acquisition.

Jordan also was the financial consultant responsible for leading the financial reorganization in the mid 1980's of the large maritime consortium that owned Marine Power & Equipment, formerly of Seattle, Wash. In the 1970's, he was an SEC specialist with Coopers & Lybrand, now PricewaterhouseCoopers, in New York and Seattle. More recently he was the president of Cresmont Capital Projects, Inc., a Seattle-based investment banking firm that specialized in capital formation in the waste industry. Prior to joining ATG, Mr. Jordan has served as president/CEO and executive VP/CFO for Gettuit Commerce Technologies, Inc., a development stage company in the Internet infrastructure industry based in Seattle.

"I have personal knowledge of the then developmental glass vitrification technology which was later commercialized by ATG, and becomes today's successful SAFGLAS(TM) thermal operations. The brand new low-level mixed waste plant with its state-of-the-art GASVIT(TM) process is an impressive facility," said Jordan. "I believe the industry has been waiting for a long time for such a comprehensively permitted thermal treatment facility. I am looking forward to contributing as a member of the senior management team at ATG."

"Vik Mani and I would like to welcome Phil Jordan to the ATG team. Phil's expertise and experience are tailor-made to the needs of our company," said Doreen Chiu, president and CEO of ATG.
