  1. Radiation Decon Solutions Personnel Emergency Response Skin Decontamination White Paper

  2. KI Canada Ltd since 2003 has offered selected crisis protection products to reduce damage to life and property in the event of natural and man-made disasters Today’s product presentation highlights: RadDecon Solutions www.raddecon.com

  3. Revolutionary Scientific Product for Radiation Decontamination KI Canada and RadDecon have teamed with CBRNE experts OWR Group to offer a complete decontamination solution for Canadian use This revolutionary technology removes radioactive contamination to acceptable levels within minutes with no negative environmental impact

  4. Radiation Decontamination Solutions - RadDecon Solutions LLC is: a nuclear technology solutions company specializing in the decontamination of radioactive surfaces Its proprietary radionuclide ion-specific products are sold worldwide to commercial users in industry, nuclear power plants, first responders and homeland security

  5. Mass Effect Influence The core technology is called “Mass Effect”, which uses a water-based resin solution to flood or be sprayed onto any radiation- contaminated surface, including human skin (the skin must be intact) Within moments the solution de-ionizes and lifts any radioactive substance into suspension so that the surface can be wiped free of the contaminant (when large quantities of fluid are required, the effluent can be passed through a RadDecon resin bed for purification and reuse)

  6. Each Mass Effect is Ion Specific: • Halogen Mass Effect solution removes iodine, fluorine, chlorine, ... • Transition Metal Mass Effect removes cesium, cobalt, strontium, thallium, ... • Actinide Mass Effect removes plutonium, uranium, technetium, americium, radium, ...

  7. Efficacy In independent tests, Mass Effect outperformed: • Chelating solutions - up to 7 times more effective • Surfactant-based solutions - up to 5 times more effective This improved efficiency reduces product consumption, cost, and/or critical path of time-sensitive applications

  8. The FDA has stated that use on humans (to remove surface contamination) does not require FDA regulation Safe For Human Use

  9. OWR Roll-out Decontamination Mobility / Small Footprint System is a 20-foot ISO container with roll-on frame and independent power supply. It can be transported on any vehicle with a roll-on system The unit decontaminates up to 240 persons per hour (higher throughputs attainable with additional inflatable tents) Completely self-contained

  16. Decontamination of Skin Most Recent Test Decontamination of skin contaminated with Tc-99m pertechnetate Tl-201 thallous chloride Performed March 2008 Pee Dee Isotopes Inc, Myrtle Beach, S.C.

  17. Pig Skin Test Materials and Methods: Fresh pigskin was cut into four 2” x 2” pieces. Two pieces were contaminated with Tc-99m and two with Tl-201 Contamination measurements were made initially and after each cleaning step using a Ludlum thin window pancake detector with a counts-per-minute (cpm) scale Transition Metal and Actinide solutions were sprayed in succession on a piece of skin contaminated with Tc-99m (A) and on a piece contaminated with Tl-201 (B)

  18. Pig Skin Test For comparison, a leading decontamination agent was sprayed onto the two remaining pieces of skin {the one with Tc-99m (C) and the other with Tl-201 (D)}. (the manufacturer of the agent does not recommend use on skin) The solutions were then wiped off with new 4 x 4 gauze. Due to the amount of fatty oil on the skin, it was decided to do a final spray with 70% isopropyl alcohol, which was then wiped off with new gauze

  19. Results RadDecon Solutions Section A B Initial cpm 10,000 20,000 TM 4,000 14,000 Solution A 3,500 8,000 70% Alcohol 2,500 1,000 Total reduction 75% 95% Other decontamination agent: Section C D Initial cpm 4,000 8,000 Wash 2,600 6,000 70% alcohol l2,000 3,000 Total reduction 50% 62.5%

  20. Decontamination Applications • Nuclear Renaissance /Electric Power • Increased industrial use of radioactive materials • Increased medical use of radioactive materials • Nuclear reactors maintenance boilers pipes during refuelling • Increased environmental clean-up concerns • Military exposure overseas • Possible dirty bomb in Canada • Emergency overseas nuclear relief missions • Shelter in place safe room applications • Retail self –help kits for individuals and institutional groups

  21. Summary RadDecon’s Mass Effect water-based products dislocate radioactive ions and are proven to work quickly and efficiently to decontaminate radioactive surfaces Now for the first time, scientifically-formulated products used by nuclear power plants and nuclear waste facilities are available to first responders and the general public

  22. Path Forward KI Canada wishes government support through testing to: • Prove conceptual theories of a safe, practical skin decontaminant for radiation exposure • Prove the ability to remove radiation from skin / hair combinations • Evaluate total system integration and tactics for civil and first responders to a radiation crisis
