Monday June 26, 10:30 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: RHOMBIC CORPORATION via BCE Emergis e-News Services Rhombic Corporation - Daimler Chrysler Aerospace FusionStar Reports Milestones Vancouver, BC Rhombic Corporation (OTCBB:NUKE - news) has received word from the FusionStar project of Daimler Chrysler Aerospace (now a part of Astrium-Space Infrastructure) that several milestones were recently achieved. The most notable milestone is the start and good progress of the life time or endurance test run of a standard neutron generator system. Delivery of this product has also started. The technical goal is to offer a superior product (performance, price and reliability) which is more attractive to the specialized market of industrial neutron applications. The life test unit has already accumulated 1600 hours, as of June 20. Thus it has already exceeded the operating life of many competitors and it is still running fine. So customer skepticism will diminish and the market will grow as the total run time grows hour by hour. The neutron applications market that FusionStar will address is that of Prompt Gamma Analysis. The neutrons interact with atoms/isotopes and unique gamma photons are emittted. The gamma photon energy spectrs is measured and analyzed in real time to provide a measure of the elemental composition of the probed material. This process control technique can be a very cost effective solution for various industries. By knowing the chemistry of target substances, the PGA or Thermal Neutron Analysis technique can be used to detect hidden substances. So there are many applications that will find FusionStar to be the most economic neutron source. The key selling features of the FusionStar neutron generator are listed at the updated http.//www.fusionstar.com web site. Following the establishment of the first generation commercial IEC device in the market, several other applications of the IEC technology are planned for development with various industrial and research partners. Rhombic, through its wholly owned subsidiary called Rockford Technology Associates (RTA), awaits a royalty flow on worldwide sales of the FusionStar and IEC products derived from University of Illinois IEC patents which are licensed to Daimler Chrysler Aerospace/Astrium for exclusive commercialization. Rhombic is planning to enjoy the benefits of its shared marketing rights in North America through cooperation with FusionStar in the next phase of commercialization. The above text has been written and approved for release by Astrium-Space Infrastructure, Center Trauen, formerly Daimler Chrysler Aerospace infrastructure, a company of the Daimler Chrysler group (NYSE:DCX - news).
