Deep Isolation

Deep Isolation has an opportunity not only to further develop the safety and quality of our canister technology, but to implement a waste management strategy that covers onsite interim storage as well as handling, transport, and final disposal.


BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB)

Deep Isolation, a leading innovator in spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste (HLW) storage and disposal solutions, has signed a cooperative agreement with NAC International Inc. (NAC), a leading nuclear fuel cycle consulting and technology solutions company specializing in casks and canister systems for nuclear materials transport and spent fuel storage and disposal.

Deep Isolation and NAC will cooperate in the design, development, and manufacturing of Deep Isolation’s SNF and HLW disposal canister technology. Leveraging NAC’s dry fuel storage technologies, the two companies will collaborate to advance the technical aspects of Deep Isolation’s current solution design for canister storage, disposal, and equipment for the transfer of SNF and HLW from existing storage areas to a Deep Isolation repository.

“With NAC’s global leadership and demonstrated canister safety and design expertise, we have an opportunity not only to further develop the safety and quality of our canister technology, but to implement a waste management strategy that covers onsite interim storage as well as handling, transport, and final disposal,” notes Elizabeth Muller, CEO of Deep Isolation.

NAC International is an innovative leader with proven experience in commercial and governmental nuclear material safeguards management, specializing in the design, licensing, and deployment of storage and transport systems. With over 20 years of decommissioning spent fuel management experience, NAC has supplied a large share of the used fuel systems at decommissioning U.S. utility sites. As a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), NAC has developed and deployed transportable storage systems at DOE sites and has packaged and transported fuel all over the world.

“NAC welcomes this opportunity to work with Deep Isolation and its partners in the development of a safe and efficient integrated waste management solution that is greatly needed by the nuclear industry worldwide,” said Kent Cole, President and CEO of NAC International. “NAC’s technology and knowhow fit well with Deep Isolation’s solution to ensure storage, transport, and disposal objectives are well integrated into efficient waste disposition strategies, tailored to the relative size and needs of each country’s nuclear power program.”

This is the second strategic partnership that the Berkeley-based startup has made in the last 6 months. Earlier this summer, Deep Isolation announced a cooperative agreement with Bechtel National, Inc., part of the largest engineering and construction company in the United States to support Deep Isolation’s sales and engineering capabilities as well as the capacity to deliver its solution around the world.

“In this highly regulated market, it’s critical to bring innovations in waste management through established industry leaders,” comments Rod Baltzer, COO of Deep Isolation. “This partnership demonstrates the impact we are having in this industry and our ability to deliver a storage and disposal solution to governments looking for another option.”

Deep Isolation has gained significant traction this year with a public demonstration of its technology in January, three technical papers published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Energies by MDPI, and most recently the expansion of its business development efforts internationally.

Connectivity Powers Telehealth Services; Disrupts Healthcare Norms

Leave a comment


Choice Business Connections provides a wireless connectivity and management platform for IoT-based solutions providers in the consumer-facing, public, industrial, and infrastructural sectors

Darren Sadana, CEO of Choice Business Connections, underscores why strong connectivity is the backbone of telehealth.

“Rapid virtual patient access to healthcare providers is increasingly a part of everyday healthcare, as well as an invaluable tool in areas affected by war or natural disaster.”


SYOSSET, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Over 60 schools in the northwest panhandle of Florida began the 2019-2020 school year with a new telehealth service in place. The program is designed to provide virtual mental health care to more than 35,000 students still affected by Hurricane Michael, a devastating Category 5 storm that struck the region in October of 2018 [1].

“This initiative by the state of Florida,” says Choice Business Connections CEO Darren Sadana, “is one more sign of the growing importance of wireless-assisted telehealth in overall healthcare.” Sadana, whose company specializes in wireless connectivity for IoT and solution providers, adds, “Rapid virtual patient access to healthcare providers is increasingly a part of everyday healthcare, as well as an invaluable tool in areas affected by war or natural disaster.”

In Houston, for example, Hurricane Harvey caused such extensive street flooding that many physicians were unable to reach the hospitals where they worked. A team of acute care telemedical specialists operating in the area, however, were able to step in and take over for these flooded-out hospitals’ regular staff doctors [2]. In Syria, where an estimated 400,000 people have been killed and an additional 1.9 million wounded since the beginning of the current civil war in 2011 [3], both the Syrian American Medical Society and Doctors without Borders are using telehealth technology to provide training and support for front-line medical personnel [4].

As it becomes an accepted part of today’s healthcare environment, professional organizations and licensing bodies have been seeking greater consistency in telehealth training and practice [5]. Earlier this year, the legislature of the State of Washington unanimously adopted bills focused on telehealth training procedures and practitioner credentials [6]. The states of Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Texas are currently considering similar legislation, as well as setting ground rules for insurance coverage of telehealth-assisted procedures [7].

Meanwhile, notes Sadana, to support what they do, telehealth practitioners need seamless, high- speed wireless connectivity to ensure constant uptime, as well as the ability to handle a steady flow of complex information in real time. Integrated low-latency IoT and M2M cellular connective service can enable telehealth professionals to provide patient access, better emergency care, real-time patient monitoring, and secure data transmission. The profession, he points out, is well aware of these requirements; in a recent survey, 85 percent of respondents said that digital innovation is a component of their long-term strategies to improve patient care [8].

“With the right IoT wireless solution,” says Sadana, “tablets and routers small enough to fit in a backpack can provide mobile caregivers with a secure 4G LTE connection for accessing training materials, emails, and patients’ medical histories. The right solution can also enable instant transmission of data from patient monitoring devices as well as data security for HIPAA compliance. As an intensely user- and usability-focused wireless connection provider, we regard it as an honor and a privilege to help support this lifesaving industry.”

About Choice Business Connections

Choice Business Connections Inc. provides a wireless connectivity and management platform for IoT-based solutions providers in the consumer-facing, public, industrial, and infrastructural sectors. They were awarded Top 50 Smartest Companies of 2018 by the Silicon Review and Channel Vision’s Visionary Spotlight Awards for Top Innovation, Service Provider Enablement, and Enterprise Technology in 2019.

The Main Reasons Why Drivers Should Get Uninsured And Underinsured Coverage

Leave a comment


News Image

“It is important to have coverage suited for any situation. UM/UIM coverage will help you get sufficient money,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Autocarsinsurancetips.com has launched a new blog post that explains the benefits of uninsured and underinsured motorist auto insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit http://autocarsinsurancetips.com/why-drivers-should-purchase-uninsured-and-underinsured-motorist-coverage/

Mandatory in many states, uninsured motorist insurance will cover drivers that are hit by other drivers that don’t carry any type of insurance. Closely related to uninsured motorist insurance, underinsured motorist insurance will cover drivers that are hit by other drivers that carry insurance, but is not enough to pay for all the damage they caused.

Uninsured motorist coverage, or UM for short, will come into effect following these situations:


  • The policyholder has sustained injuries from an uninsured driver. In this case, the bodily injury coverage part of UM insurance comes into effect This coverage will take care of the policyholder medical bills if he got hit by an uninsured driver, or by a hit and run driver.

  • The car owner has sustained financial losses caused by an uninsured driver. If the policyholder has sustained financial losses, like a damaged car, caused by an at-fault uninsured driver, he will be reimbursed by the insurance companies. In some cases, this coverage will pay for the lost wages of the policyholder.

Underinsured motorist coverage, or UMI for short, will kick in these situations:

  • The car driver is injured by an underinsured driver. The underinsured coverage will come into effect after the underinsured driver’s insurance is exhausted. The medical bills of the policyholder are paid until a limit is reached. If that limit is reached, the policyholder should consider suing the at-fault driver.

  • The policyholder has suffered financial losses caused an underinsured driver. Underinsured motorist coverage will pay the costs to repair or replace the car of a policyholder that got hit by a driver that carries little insurance. UMI insurance will kick in only after the at-fault driver insurance got exhausted. Besides that, UMI coverage will pay for the lost capacity to work or lost wages.

Flok Trackers Launches as the Most Reliable, Next Generation LPWA Network GPS-Tracking Devices

Leave a comment


News Image

Flok was founded after my beloved dog went missing four years ago,” said Pearu Praakle, CEO of Flok Trackers. “I soon came to realize the problem is even bigger. Every year, more and more pets, kids, seniors and valuable belongings go missing. Flok is here to keep your family and valuables safe.


TARTU, Estonia (PRWEB)

Flok Technology introduces Flok, the most dependable, next-generation GPS-tracking devices that ensure peace of mind when it comes to the safety and security of what matters most in life. Flok can track a multitude of things, including pets, valuables, everyday belongings and even loved ones.

“Flok was founded after my beloved dog went missing four years ago. I knew that I wanted to create a device that would help other pet owners by ensuring their pets would always find their way back home,” said Pearu Praakle, CEO of Flok Trackers. “I soon came to realize the problem is even bigger. Every year, more and more pets, kids, seniors and valuable belongings go missing. Flok is here to keep your family and valuables safe.”

Flok Trackers use Low Power Wide Area Networks LTE-M/NB-IoT, GPS & Bluetooth to offer maximum positioning accuracy and an extended battery life so users can find their loved ones or belongings as quickly as possible. Flok also uses LTE-M & Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology, which significantly reduces the power consumption of devices, system capacity and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage. This technology allows the trackers to be lightweight with maximum positioning accuracy and a long battery life.

Using LTE-M/NB-IoT network technology and an accompanying mobile app, Flok is two times more accurate than other 3G trackers on the market. Flok has an unlimited working radius between the device and smartphone. With Flok, knowing the exact location of belongings, pets and loved ones is extremely accurate and effortless.

Flok’s mobile app controls it all – from the location of kids, pets and valuables to notifications of any unusual activity. The app allows users to choose a custom geofence radius, receive updates about whatever is being tracked in pre-selected intervals, track wherever loved ones are, enable sleep mode and review device-based user history.

Flok includes a geofence with notifications that send an alert if the tracker strays outside of the area that has been set. For finding belongings indoors, Flok makes a ringing sound at the press of a button. Additionally, an instant notification will be sent if the app detects any unusual activity. For those people with older family members, notifications and a fall down sensor can assist seniors in the case of an emergency.

Flok trackers are fully equipped with durable materials and are small, stylish and lightweight. Flok includes a silicon cover and a keychain/keyring so it can resist damage – no matter what it is attached to. Flok trackers are waterproof up to 1m below the water’s surface so users can bring the tracker wherever they go without the worry of water damage.

One Flok has a battery life of up to 180 days, keeping the tracker fully-functioning at all times. With an unlimited working radius and a weight of just 25g, these trackers are convenient, easy to use and reliable. Flok is now available on Kickstarter at a discounted price for a limited time only. To place a pre-order please visit pr.go2.fund/flok.

About Flok Tracker:

The Flok Tracker team has been working hard on Flok for over four years now and are excited to bring these trackers to the public. From their research, they see the need for a product that brings a sense of security to people who want to keep track of their important belongings and loved ones. They hope Flok helps give people peace of mind and helps make their lives easier and running smoothly. To find out more please visit pr.go2.fund/flok.
