FRHAM Safety Products, Inc.

• Innovative new line of protective clothing,

decontamination supplies and related products.

• Designed specifically for the nuclear industry.
• Made from a special polymer called Polyvinyl

Alcohol (PVA).

• OREX products were designed to replace

launderable and traditional disposable products.

• Over 70 product codes currently.
• Special treatment process following use

eliminates waste requiring landfill disposal.

What is OREX?

OREX Single-Use Product Technology has changed the protective clothing paradigm at U.S. nuclear facilities!

• OREX is More Cost Effective
• OREX is More Protective
• OREX is More Comfortable
• OREX is Easier to Manage
• Best of All …..There is NO

WASTE After Use!!!

OREX is the Technology of the Future!

Benefits Demonstrated at Nuclear Facilities

Coveralls Airline Suits FR Apparel Hoods Booties Shoecovers Mops/Wipes Sheeting Waste Bags Lab Coats Scrubs

OREX Products Currently Available

OREX Technology Overview

 Over 85% of USA Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) use OREX Extensively  More than 2,000,000 sets of OREX Protective Clothing are used in

USA NPPs each year

 More than 2,600,000 Sets of OREX Scrubs have been Used in the Past

3 Years

 More than 1,500,000 OREX Wipes are used in USA NPPs each year  More than 150,000 OREX Waste Bags are used in USA NPPs each year  More than 120,000 OREX Mopheads are used in USA NPPs each year

OREX Technology Overview

 30-40 NPP Refueling Shutdown Periods per Year in USA are 100%

OREX

 16 Steam Generator Replacement Projects (All Such Projects in USA

have been 100% OREX Since Year 2001 when OREX was Initially Developed; each Shutdown Period Requires over 100,000 sets of OREX Protective Clothing)

 More than 10 Reactor Head Replacement Projects in USA have been

full OREX Projects

OREX Processing Overview

• More than 500,000 Kg of Used OREX is Processed

in the USA OREX Processing Facility each Year

• Waste Volume

Reductions of 10,000:1 are common

• n scrubs, mops, wipes,

sheeting and waste bags

OREX Processing System History – First Generation Processor

 Year 2001 – First Generation OREX Processor (Model

MB-200) begins Commercial Operation in the USA

 Year 2003 – First Generation OREX Processor Capacity

Increased from 100 Kg per Batch to 270 Kg per Batch (Model MB-600)

 Year 2006 – Two Model MB-600 OREX Processors

Operating at Central USA Processing facility

 Year 2007 – One Model MB-200 Processor Begins

Operation at USA Government facility

 Year 2009 to Present – USA Central Processing Facility

Processes over 500,000 Kg of Used OREX each Year from USA NPPs

OREX Processing System History – 2nd Generation Processor

 Year 2010 – Small Scale 2nd Generation OREX Processor

was Installed at Wolsung NPP in South Korea and was Successfully used to Process Used OREX During the Refueling Shutdown Period.

 Year 2010-2011 – USA Engineers Modify 2nd Generation

Processor for Application in USA and China. First Large Capacity 2nd Generation Processor is Currently being Constructed at Central Facility in USA (180 Kg per Batch Capacity) Note: 2nd Generation OREX Processor has been Specifically Modified to Optimize Effluent Discharge Chemistry to Satisfy Japan, Korea, China Requirements

New OREX Products for JNPC

 ETI Product Development staff has Developed

Several New OREX Products Specifically for Asia Application to Reduce Radioactive Waste Generation Significantly

 Pink Sheeting  Pink Waste Bags  Preliminary Design for a “bagsuit”

Current Status - China

 China Nuclear Power Engineering Corp (CNPE)

Recently Completed a Full Feasibility Evaluation for OREX Implementation in China NPPs. The Results were Very Positive.

 First China NPP has Designated Space in the Reactor

Auxiliary Building for the First OREX Processor to be Installed.

 ETI is Creating a China based OREX Processor

Fabrication and Installation Team to Prepare for 2nd Generation OREX Processor Installation at China NPPs

Summary

 OREX is Innovative and Environmentally Friendly  OREX Products are High Performance Products  OREX Processing Eliminates the Waste after Use

(Higher Volume Reductions than Incineration)

 OREX was Designed Specifically for Nuclear

Applications

 Many of the OREX Team Come From the Nuclear

Industry

 FRHAM/ETI have a Strong Partnership and

Capability to Serve and Supply OREX to Mihama Corp.

Thank you.

In Keeping with Mihama’s Corporate Slogan “Today for Tomorrow”, …OREX is a revolutionary technology that will shape tomorrow’s world.
