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...

US Nuclear Takes up 5% Stake in Space Mining Pioneer Solar System Resources

  Los Angeles, CA.  June 9, 2021 – On June 4, 2021, US Nuclear (OTCQB: UCLE) signed an agreement to take a 5% stake in Solar System Resources Corporation Sp. z o. o., thus advancing US Nuclear’s portfolio of high-tech startups. US Nuclear and Solar System Resources decided to keep the details of the transaction private. Solar System Resources is a space mining company that conducts localization, in-situ verification, and mining of space resources. US Nuclear will cooperate with Solar System Resources and other partners to build a value chain starting with mining and selling valuable helium-3, lanthanide metals, and other vital or precious materials from space deposits. This is just the latest investment of US Nuclear, which can be viewed as a holding company and incubator with stakes in highly innovative and promising companies. US Nuclear owns 100% of its three main operating divisions, including Technical Associates, Overhoff Technology Corporation, and ECC X-ray, and a mino...

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 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...
