Joe,

Impressive (to say the least)! I have been aware of this company for some time although I have just bought shares. The amount of contracts these guys could generate is huge.

Here's a very interesting article showing the potential of this chamber.

capecodonline.com

Below I highlighted a section from the above article that requires extra attention. Some staggering numbers.

Here's the real rub: Open-air detonation would cost about $50,000. The Donovan Demolition chamber would cost about $1.4 million. Even that gaping price differential should be no big deal to the mother agency of cost overruns, but for this problem: The EPA estimates that there are somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 military artillery ranges containing unexploded ordnance in the U.S., covering up to 50 million acres. And the Defense Department hasn't finished taking inventory - there may be a lot more. Said EPA official Ken Shuster in a memo, "Ranges and buried munitions represent the largest cleanup program in the U.S."

If 5,000 bases blow up their old ordnance, at $50,000 a base,
that's a $250 million price tag. A pittance, in Pentagon terms - barely a wing on a B-1 bomber. But if each of those bases needs a $1.4 million detonation chamber, the price rockets to $7 billion. And some bases will have a whole lot more unexploded ordnance than Camp Edwards.

Here's an interesting excerpt from an article from China News Digest. I hear that DMIL is in the running for a portion of these contracts.

(4) Japan Seeks to Dispose of Chemical Weapons in China

[CND, 04/19/98] The Japanese government plans to spend possibly hundreds of billions of yen on the disposal of chemical weapons that the Imperial Japanese Army left in China during World War II, Reuters reported from Tokyo. Methods such as chemical destruction and incineration have already been proposed. Seven groups of Japanese and foreign firms are seeking contracts from the government, which will convene an international panel later this month to study the proposals. (Xiaolin LI, Liedong ZHENG)
