LOCH news ! .048 x.049 *** Tuesday June 1, 2:07 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Loch Harris, Inc. Loch Harris' ChemTech Physicist to Address Nuclear Conference AUSTIN, Texas, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In the aftermath of agreements forged with the Ruder Boskovic Institute and the Croatian Mine Action Centre (CROMAC) in Croatia last week, officials of Loch Harris, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: LOCH - news) have become last-minute insertions in a prestigious international nuclear conference, according to Loch Harris CEO Rodney A. Boone. ''The 6th International Conference on Applications of Nuclear Techniques, to be held on the island of Crete, Greece June 20-26, was closed,'' said Boone. ''But Croatian officials who were prominent participants insisted on inviting a paper from Dr. Henry Blair, noted physicist for Chemical Detection Technologies, Inc. (ChemTech), into the program. Blair's topic, ''A Man Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Based Landmine Detection and Location System,'' will discuss the scientific basis behind ChemTech's ELF landmine detection system and hint at its use in other applications. Boone has also been invited by Dr. Vlado Valkovic, professor of physics and head of Ruder Boskovic Institute's Applied Physics Laboratory, to be co- author of his opening overview, ''Humanitarian Demining: A Global Problem.'' ChemTech, a subsidiary of Loch Harris, is owner and developer of the ELF technology, an X-ray-based system for detection and location of landmines. ChemTech recently announced an agreement to collaborate with Croatia's Ruder Boskovic Institute in field testing the ELF system in what Boone termed the ''real, live laboratory of one of the worst landmine-polluted nations on earth.'' ''Over ten percent of the land area of Croatia has been rendered useless by an estimated 1.2 million undocumented landmines,'' said Boone. ''Our task is to help them clear the equivalent of a one-mile wide path from Washington, DC to the Pacific Ocean.'' The 6th International Conference on Applications of Nuclear Techniques is under the auspices of The Office Of National Drug Control Policy -- The White House, NCSR Demokritos, and Western Kentucky University.
