What is OREX? • 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.
Benefits Demonstrated at Nuclear Facilities 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!
OREX Products Currently Available Coveralls Airline Suits FR Apparel Hoods Booties Shoecovers Mops/Wipes Sheeting Waste Bags Lab Coats Scrubs
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 o Waste Volume Reductions of 10,000:1 are common on 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 2 nd 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 2 nd Generation Processor for Application in USA and China. First Large Capacity 2 nd Generation Processor is Currently being Constructed at Central Facility in USA (180 Kg per Batch Capacity) Note: 2 nd Generation OREX Processor has been Specifically Modified to Optimize Effluent Discharge Chemistry to Satisfy Japan, Korea, China Requirements
OREX Processor Second Generation Overview Carbon Dioxide Used OREX Heat Dissolution Heat and Thermal Filtration Chemical Oxidation Oxidation Chemical Water
Advantages to 2nd Generation Processor 1 st Generation 2 nd Generation OREX Processor OREX Processor Capacity (per Batch) 270 kg 180 kg Water Used per Batch 5300 liters 570 liters Thermal Oxidation Phase No Yes Effluent Chemical Oxygen 85,000 ppm <100 ppm Demand (COD) Amount of Water 5300 liters 40 liters Discharged per Batch
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 2 nd 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.
In Keeping with Mihama’s Corporate Slogan “Today for Tomorrow”, …OREX is a revolutionary technology that will shape tomorrow’s world. Thank you.
