- Other
Events
On
November 26, 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) Region 4 issued a
permit to the Company’s Diversified Scientific Services, Inc. (“DSSI”)
subsidiary located in Kingston, Tennessee to commercially store and dispose
of
radioactive Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).
In
2004,
DSSI began the permitting process to add Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”)
regulated wastes, namely PCBs, containing radioactive constituents to its
authorization in order to meet the demand for the treatment of government and
commercially generated radioactive PCB wastes. Currently, we are unaware of
any
other authorized commercial facilities permitted to destroy radioactive PCB
wastes.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has
