Honolulu Company Helps with Japan Nuclear Clean UpShareThis
A Honolulu company is helping with the continuing cleanup from the nuclear disaster that struck northern Japan. CBI Polymers has produced a gel that cleans contaminated vehicles and says it will be used by the Japanese military. The blue gel is sprayed or painted onto a surface and absorbs contaminated particles. It can then be peeled off and thrown away. Company CEO Galen Ho told HPR’s Bytemarks Café that working with a country facing nuclear cleanup is not just about selling a product. “DeconGel” was tested this weekend to clean up a kindergarten playground in Fukushima. A public health professor monitoring the results told the AP a trial run showed the gel was 90 percent effective. (Aileen Humphreys / HPR News) |
