(OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :NSOL) announced today the signing of a Letter of Intent for a $50 million (USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ) Developmental License Agreement with The Photodeactivation and Transmutation transmutation /trans·mu·ta·tion/ (trans?mu-ta´shun) 1. evolutionary change of one species into another. 2. the change of one chemical element into another. Institute of Europe, Ltd., for NSOL's electron accelerator-based photodisintegration pho·to·dis·in·te·gra·tion n. Nuclear disintegration or transformation caused by absorption of high-energy radiation, as of gamma rays. process for remediation of nuclear waste and the safe generation of electricity. The Letter of Intent details a two-part license agreement. Part One will constitute a developmental license. Part Two will constitute a use license. In addition to the $50 million License Fee, NSOL will be paid, per installation, (a) an Accelerator Driven System fee; (b) electric generation/cogeneration fees; (c) an annual license renewal fee; and (d) fees for nuclear material storage, handling and processing. NSOL and The Photodeactivation and Transmutation Institute of Europe, Ltd. will finalize the formal terms and conditions of the agreement within the next 45 days. This press release may be deemed to contain forward-looking statement forward-looking statement A projected financial statement based on management expectations. A forward-looking statement involves risks with regard to the accuracy of assumptions underlying the projections. that could affect the financial condition and results of operations of the company and its subsidiaries. Further information on potential factors that could affect financial conditions, results of operations, and expansion projects of the company are included in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. NOTES TO EDITORS: 1. Nuclear Solutions, Inc. (NSOL) is pioneering the application of photonuclear pho·to·nu·cle·ar adj. Of or relating to a nuclear reaction induced by photons. physics for the treatment of nuclear waste and the safe, efficient generation of electricity. Development of this patented and patent-pending technology could result in the elimination of nuclear waste and a new generation of nuclear reactors that are able to burn their own waste. The application of photonuclear physics to nuclear waste is called Photodeactivation (a term coined by the inventor, Dr. Paul M. Brown). Photodeactivation involves the irradiation irradiation /ir·ra·di·a·tion/ (i-ra?de-a´shun) 1. radiotherapy. 2. the dispersion of nervous impulse beyond the normal path of conduction. 3. of specific radioactive isotopes radioactive isotope or radioisotope, natural or artificially created isotope of a chemical element having an unstable nucleus that decays, emitting alpha, beta, or gamma rays until stability is reached. to force the emission of a neutron, thereby producing an isotope of reduced atomic mass atomic mass, the mass of a single atom, usually expressed in atomic mass units . These resultant isotopes are characteristically either not radioactive or radioactive with a short half-life. NSOL's technology works on the laboratory scale, and preliminary computer simulations suggest that this technology will also work on the industrial scale. NSOL is taking the steps necessary for commercialization of the technology. As for most of the advanced nuclear technologies developed today, computer simulation is one of the most important and necessary steps. NSOL will use and improve a series of nuclear simulation codes. The new set of simulation codes will allow the NSOL research and development team to design, test, improve, and develop experiments and commercial facilities through computer modeling. NSOL plans to capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1. To turn (an opportunity) to one's advantage; to take advantage of (a situation); to profit from; as, to capitalize on an opponent's mistakes s>. its patent and patent-pending technology by forming strategy alliances and joint ventures with well-established leaders in the nuclear industry. Continued revenue streams are expected through licensing of the technology with both upfront fees and ongoing royalties. 2. NSOL's technology, the HYPERCOM(TM) ADS process, is an electron accelerator-based photodisintegration process, incorporating the most recent advances in the photo-nuclear industry. 3. The technology could be developed into new applications for remediation of nuclear waste. Industrially, it would operate at a sub-critical level, so the heat produced by the process could also be used to generate electricity in a safe and environmentally benign manner. |
