If this is successful, we expect that the process of decommissioning old plant will procede more rapidly and in a more cost-effective way. We also believe that it will also provide an improved level of security in newly built plant. This technology is currently playing a very important, and growing role in protecting ports and border crossings in several different countries around the world.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
