Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
"Our record-setting results in the second quarter and first half are
attributable to our Nuclear Segment. Within Nuclear, we saw increases in the
shipments of mixed waste, a very favorable product mix, and the improvements in
treatment processes and operational efficiencies. Overall, Nuclear has continued
its steady growth with a great second quarter."
Dr. Centofanti continued, "Performance in the Industrial Segment did not
meet expectations. Despite encouraging and substantial increases in revenue, the
Segment's gross profit and net income results were well below established goals.
Efforts to evaluate and increase division performance are ongoing."
