ANNOUNCING THE FIRST ANTI-NUCLEAR SUIT

Radiation Shield Technologies Announces Demron^TM  - the First Ionizing/Nuclear Radiation Shielding Suit

Miami, FL. -- October 1st, 2002 -- Radiation Shield Technologies (RST) is proud to offer the world's first ionizing/nuclear radiation shielding fabric: Demron^TM . For the first time, individuals have a way to adequately protect themselves from nuclear radiation.

In light of recent developments from natural and man-made radiation sources, the proliferation of nuclear material throughout the world, and the threat of radiological terrorism and warfare, RST introduces Demron^TM  to protect military and civilian populations. Demron^TM  offers radiation protection far beyond that of current NBC suits (which only block Alpha radiation). In the field and at home, Demron^TM  is a potent shielding agent against nuclear radiation such as Gamma, X-ray Alpha and Beta. Independently tested at Columbia University and Georgia Institute of Technology, this lightweight, non-toxic and Lead-free radiation protection fabric is approximately one-fifth of the weight of traditional, medical Lead aprons. Demron's^TM  lightweight design leaves its wearer unencumbered and fully mobile while giving them the ability to work in or escape from radiation-exposed areas.

Full-body suits made from Demron^TM  (weighing 3-6 lbs) were first unveiled at the inaugural Homeland Security Summit in Atlanta last month. Demron^TM  is now available to all military, government agencies, emergency response teams, and soon, civilians.
