18. Neutron Shielding History * Our metal matrix material was shipped to Framatome in the early 90's.(6092 alloy + 25,30% B4C) 200 lbs. * The material was used commercially for a 9 cask job for Transnuclear, USA ( 120,000. lbs) 1100 + 15% B4C * The material 1100/15%B4C was shipped to Hitachi Zosen for commercial use. (1100 series AL + 15% B4C) * The NRC issued a certificate of conformance on our material in 1998. (TN-68 cask) * Our material was commercially used by NAC United States for use in China. ( 48,000 lbs. of material, 1100 + 29.2% B4C) * The NRC issued another Certificate of conformance on our TALBOR product. * BNFL and Talon Composites have signed three contracts involving the shipment and storage of nuclear fuel. (45,000. lbs of Al + B4C)
