FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nuclear Solutions, Inc. Appoints Don Hunsaker to Executive Advisory Board
IDAHO, MERIDIAN, Jan. 30 -/E-Wire/-- Nuclear Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:NSOL) announces the appointment of Don Hunsaker II, PhD, to the Executive Advisory Board.
Dr. Hunsaker brings to Nuclear Solutions, Inc. over 35 years of experience in the fields of biological research, education and resource management. As President of The Environmental Trust, a Professor of Biology at San Diego State University, and an active research scientist, Dr. Hunsaker has represented United States environmental science programs worldwide. Additionally, he has served as principal investigator at San Diego State University and Hubbs Sea World Research Institute since 1960.
Dr. Hunsaker will contribute his environmental expertise to Nuclear Solutions, Inc. as an Executive Advisory board member. This appointment to the advisory board provides him with the opportunity to participate in an environmentally sound, but technologically advanced solution for the transmutation of nuclear waste. The higher goal being the prevention of further nuclear contamination to our environment and water resources.
"I welcome the opportunity to work with Dr. Hunsaker," said Dr. Paul M. Brown, President and CEO of Nuclear Solutions, Inc. "His guidance will be particularly important during the planning stages of our projects. Because we are sincerely concerned about nuclear contamination in our environment, his expertise will insure our environmental impact is not only minimal, but positive," he concluded.
Dr. Hunsaker will coordinate programs with other environmental and scientific groups to increase awareness of NSOLâs HYPERCON ADS TM transmutation technology. He will also coordinate the design and implementation of monitoring programs to insure that the photo-deactivation process maintains environmental integrity from design to completion.
This press release may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements 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.
1. Nuclear Solutions, Inc. (NSOL) is pioneering the application of photonuclear 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 of specific radioactive isotopes to force the emission of a neutron, thereby producing an isotope of reduced atomic mass. These resultant isotopes can be characteristically either not radioactive or radioactive with a short half-life.
The fundamental mechanism 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 (MCNP). 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 its patent and patent-pending technology by forming strategic 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. NSOLâs technology, the HYPERCON ? 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.
4. CV for Don Hunsaker II, PhD
President, The Environmental Trust Inc Senior Research Fellow, Hubbs Sea World Research Institute Professor of Biology, Emeritus, San Diego State University
Ph.D., Zoology, University of Texas, Austin, 1960. M.S., Zoology, Texas Technological University, 1957 B.A., Zoology, Texas Technological University, 1952
President, The Environmental Trust, 1990-Present. The Trust, a non-profit public benefit corporation, is dedicated to the preservation of land in Southern California for the protection of the regionâs natural biodiversity and sensitive natural resources. The Trust currently owns and had easements on approximately 5000 acres of land in southern California that are a part of the Regional Habitat Preserve system. The Trust also manages land and resources for various public agencies. As President of the Trust, Dr. Hunsaker is responsible for setting the goals and policies of the organization and ensuring quality control of the projects.
Senior Research Fellow, Hubbs Sea World Research Institute. 1996 to present. The research work at Hubbs has centered around the effects of human activities on the environment and wildlife, particularly endangered species of birds. He currently has a large multi year study on the effects of military operations and noise on endangered species of birds in San Diego County which involves geo spatial modeling of the resource selection and factors affecting the reproduction of these species. The analytical models developed for this study enable the team to determine any small effects on bird reproduction by any of several potential factors that can negatively impact the population.
Professor of Biology, San Diego State University, 1960-1996. Dr. Hunsaker has taught courses at all levels from introductory general biology classes to graduate seminars. Courses and taught include General Biology, Animal Behavior, Field Biology Techniques, Natural history of Plants and Animals, Natural History of Vertebrates, Endangered Species and seminars in a wide variety of subjects on behavior, resource management and endangered species. He retired as an emeritus professor in 1996.
