(OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :IRAD Irad (ī`răd), in the Bible, Enoch's son. ) today announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement to commercialize certain electron beam technology In electron beam technology, an electron beam is applied to do some useful work. Given the wide range of energies and intensities of electron beams that can be generated, the range of applications is equally large:
ARSA Arylsulfatase A ARSA Airport Radar Service Area ARSA Automated Radioxenon Sampler/Analyzer ARSA Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy ARSA Alberta River Surfing Association electron beam technology ("ARSA") for certain major markets including North and South America, the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community , Japan, and Africa, among others. "This technology is very appealing since it has the potential of allowing us to produce very high dose, self-shielded irradiation equipment in a package about the size of a small refrigerator and plugged into a 220 outlet," stated Randol Kirk, President. He added, "In our experience, we have not seen any equipment comparable in size, cost and performance and believe it can be adapted for on-site irradiation for a variety of possible applications such as medical equipment sterilization, polymer cross-linking, mail irradiation, and flash sterilization in surgery suites." Under the agreement VNIIEF is to supply to Rad Source two ARSA electron beam units for Rad Source to use to develop and produce high-dose irradiation application equipment over the following year. After the first year, Rad Source will then be required to utilize a minimum number of ARSA components in order to maintain exclusivity. The first ARSA units are anticipated to be delivered to Rad Source in May, 2002. About Rad Source Technologies, Inc.
