New Advances in Special Drilling Devices for Space Surveying & Mining Missions to the Moon and Beyond

  Los Angeles, CA.  August 23, 2021 – On August 15, 2021, US Nuclear’s (OTCQB: UCLE) partner Adam Jan Zwierzyński of Solar System Resources published a report on his research, prototyping, and testing of space drilling and extraction systems with the goal of developing fully autonomous mining robots for mining high-value minerals and elements from the moon, Mars, comets, and asteroids. The paper was published in ‘Energies’ journal and was written by  Adam Jan Zwierzyński , Wojciech Teper, Rafał Wiśniowski, Andrzej Gonet, Tomasz Buratowski, Tadeusz Uhl, and Karol Seweryn. It was a collaboration between the Department of Drilling and Geoengineering at AGH University of Science and Technology and the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It discusses the dire global climate crisis and the need for ecological sources of energy and mining methods that could solve the problems before it is too late. Space is becoming a new area of possible drilling applicati...

Overhoff Technology Corp (OTC)

  For more than 40 years,   Overhoff Technology   Corporation   has been the world’s premier supplier designing and manufacturing high-quality Tritium monitors. Established in 1972 Overhoff Technology has earned a remarkable reputation as the world’s leading manufacturer of Tritium monitors. Tritium is incredibly difficult to detect and measure whether in the air or in water. Overhoff Technology continues to be the global leader in providing instrumentation for the detection and measurement of Tritium. Tritium capsules are used in gun sights, archery sights, self-luminous exit signs, watches, compasses, and other similar products. Overhoff Technology offers a full line of Tritium monitoring instrumentation portable, hand-held, and installed, serving fusion power, nuclear power plants, biotech companies, and some manufacturing companies. These include air monitors, passive samplers, nuclear power plant heavy water leak detectors, ultra-low-level air monitors, stack a...

Technical Associates (TA)

  Technical Associates provides exceptional instrumentation for the detection and monitoring of radiation, chemical, and biological contaminants for a wide variety of industries including nuclear power, environmental air, nuclear medicine, and water monitoring. Water monitoring includes a diverse suite of instruments for a facility’s water intake and effluent, and the water industry in general, including water and wastewater treatment facilities, nuclear power effluent, and seawater monitors. Technical Associates has the world’s only real-time continuous Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Tritium in a water monitor capable of measuring at or below EPA/PAG level guidelines. Technical Associates (TA)   was founded in 1946 as a spin-off from the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Recognizing the advent of the nuclear age TA’s founders designed and built the first industrial-grade radiation detectors and monitors to safeguard the scientists building the world’s first atomi...

Determining the Source of Stream Toxins with Continuous Monitoring

Determining Stream Toxins with Water Quality and Level Data When researcher Wesley Gerrin gained access to a sediment toxicity lab in the Experimental Forest on the University of Georgia campus, he wanted to investigate an on-campus lake for any potential contamination issues. After his research was completed, he was fortunate enough to have some extra grant funding for the addition of a few samples from any location on campus, so he chose one of the most exciting sites on the University premises: Tanyard Branch. As Wesley said, “We ran the tests, and everything looked good, except for Tanyard Branch.” Tanyard Branch has been one of the most heavily monitored creeks in the Athens-Clarke County area for the last couple of decades due to contamination - it has a long history of abuse beginning in the 1700s. Native Americans long used the area as hunting and fishing grounds, but it was eventually seized by colonists. The people who then settled into the area opened botanical gard...

Is Radioactive Hydrogen in Drinking Water a Cancer Threat?

The EPA plans to reevaluate standards for tritium in water : Add two additional neutrons to the lightest component and hydrogen gets radioactive, procuring the name tritium. Indeed, even before the Three Mile Island mishap in 1979 controllers stressed that this omnipresent side-effect of atomic reactors could represent a danger to human wellbeing. The U.S. Natural Protection Agency (EPA) was just seven years of age when it put the main principles on the books for tritium in 1977. Yet, a ton has occurred in the mediating many years, and it's difficult a more drawn out rundown of atomic mishaps.  The Chernobyl and Fukushima emergencies let free a lot of tritium, however so have an apparently perpetual series of breaks at maturing reactors in the U.S. what's more, somewhere else. Such holes have incited the EPA to report on February 4 intends to return to norms for tritium that has discovered its direction into water—purported tritiated water, or HTO—alongside hazard limits for si...

Tritium Monitor

Tritium Air Monitor: High performance portable survey monitor  SENSITIVITY The 400SBDγC is useful for measurements as low as 2 μCi/m3 . The new OTC electrometer, which measures to below 10-16 amperes combines low noise and high zero stability. Unlike other instruments, the 400 series instruments no longer require a front panel manual zero control. Thermally induced zero shifts of the electrometer and associated electronics have been eliminated.  Tritium Air Monitor: Model 400SBDγC RADON INTERFERENCE, NOISE RESPONSE  For an unambiguous measurement of very low tritium a monitor must be able to ignore response to ambient radon. The 400SB series incorporates this capability and therefore produces accurate, fast and drift free measurements to nearly +1 μCi/m3 . TOTAL GAMMA COMPENSATION  Cruciform ionization chamber geometry provides nearly perfect gamma compensation regardless of photon energy, flux gradient or flux direction. Gamma compensati...

Tritium Water Monitor: Radiation in Water – A Real Risk

Water Quality Monitoring System The question when introducing US Nuclear Corp ’s real-time continuous water monitors to municipal water utilities is, ‘why do we need an instrument like this?  We don’t have radiation in our drinking water or waste water.’ Our question is how do you know if you don’t monitor the water.  Typical monitoring is 4 times a year per EPA’s Clean Water Act.  A water sample is pulled and sent to a lab for testing. Not a very timely or cost-effective method. Naturally occurring radiation is continuously leaking into our groundwater.  Whether water supplies are from surface water, rivers, reservoirs and lakes or groundwater, risk of radiation contamination, either deliberately or by accident, and the subsequent contamination of the population and of the infrastructure is very real today and increases as our technology advances. And what about Wastewater? With radioactive material being used so prolifically in today’s manuf...
