Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
On December 20, 2005, we appointed Cornelius J. Milmoe as a member of our board of directors.
With years of experience in the nuclear power industry, Mr. Milmoe is expected to make significant contributions to our company. From 1994 to 2000, Mr. Milmoe served as counsel for General Electric's nuclear fuel business that provided nuclear fuel fabrication, software, and design services to 50 nuclear reactors in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Mexico, and Taiwan. At GE Nuclear Fuel, Mr. Milmoe led legal negotiations for all reactor reload contracts (valued at $30-$300 million each), created a Joint Venture with Hitachi and Toshiba to build a $70 million modern fuel processing plant that reduced costs by 30% and environmental effluents by 90%, and created a marketing Joint Venture with ENUSA that led to GE Nuclear's first fuel sales at plants in Germany and Finland.
After leaving GE in 2000, Mr. Milmoe has run his own consulting firm, focusing on international energy transactions. Mr. Milmoe formed a project team to recover low enriched Uranium for fuel fabrication from Uranium concentrates at the Ulba Metallurgical plant in Kazakhstan. The United States Department of Energy ("DOE") - supported project team icluded GE, Brookhaven National Lab, Massachussets Institute of Technology, Kazatomprom, and RWE Nukem. Mr. Milmoe's other projects include contruction of a copper-beryllium alloy processing plant in Kazakhstan, sourcing zirconium components in Russia for Western nuclear power plants, and R & D agreements for advanced nuclear technologies.
Mr. Milmoe's firm has also received contracts to improve U.S. DOE reporting and management of all projects relating to the implementation of President Bush's National Energy Policy and DOE's international energy agreements, particularly science and technology agreements and nuclear non-proliferation agreements.
Mr. Milmoe earned his BA from Colgate University (Hamilton, N.Y.) in 1969 and later earned his JD from Columbia University Law School (New York, N.Y.) and was admitted to the bar in 1974. From 1974-1980, Mr. Milmoe served as Staff Attorney and Special Assistant to the New York Public Service Commission. From 1980-1994, Mr. Milmoe served as counsel for the following divisions of General Electric: GE Naval & Small Steam Turbines, GE Aircraft Engines, GE Government Services, GE Automated Systems, GE Aircraft Instruments, GE Armament Systems, and GE Silicones.
