Business Wire
Today Global Matrechs, Inc. (OTCBB: GMTH)
http://www.globalmatrechs.com announced an update on NuCap(TM), its
highly radiation- and corrosion-resistant technology, following the
recent 20th anniversary of the accident at Chernobyl. NuCap(TM),
formerly known as EKOR(TM), was originally applied at the Chernobyl
reactor in 2000, at the site of the worst nuclear accident to date.
The radiation-resistant material was successfully applied on a
fuel-containing mass located at the bubble pool under the reactor
and is still stable and on-site. The original formula for EKOR was
created specifically for the purpose of addressing the Chernobyl
Shelter. The technology has been advanced and improved upon since
its introduction to the U.S. under Global Matrechs, Inc.'s
direction, to meet U.S. standards and testing. The company had
announced previously that it was in negotiations with an American
company with offices in Berlin and Moscow for exclusive marketing
and distribution rights for NuCap(TM) to Eastern European
governments, with a particular focus on the Ukraine and, in
particular, the Chernobyl site. According to the company, these
negotiations are continuing. Michael Sheppard, C.E.O. of Global
Matrechs, reported that "We are moving forward with our plan and
expect to complete our Master Manufacturing Agreement with Dow
Corning and a Sales Agreement with a company that will represent us
in Eastern Europe. Once completed, we believe we will be in a
position to service the needs of this sector in the area of nuclear
waste encapsulation. The advent of this is very exciting to the
company, and we believe it will mark the achievement of a
significant milestone for NuCap(TM) on its road to becoming a
commercially successful product offering." With quality assurance
programs for U.S. nuclear storage, including the program at the
Yucca Mountain facility, currently under review, Global Matrechs,
Inc. is increasing its efforts to obtain approval for the use of
NuCap(TM) in the U.S. The Company had previously announced its
receipt of a commercial order for NuCap(TM) for the Hanford Nuclear
Site located in Richland, WA. The Company believes NuCap(TM) would
be used to cover the walls of a "pit" in which there has been a
radiation spill. NuCap(TM) has been engineered for use in a wide
variety of applications in settings presenting low- to high-level
radiation and other environmental challenges. NuCap(TM)'s
applications range from in-situ, stabilization, D & D,
containment and encapsulation to transportation and final storage
and disposal. The company believes NuCap(TM) may also have
applications that could assist in resolving the special challenges
faced by operating reactors in nuclear power plants and research
facilities, uranium/thorium and other mining venues, nuclear
medicine and the chemical industry. About Global Matrechs:
