p' KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANI A 19406 MAY 0 71985 MEMORANDUM FOR:
International Nutronics, Inc. File FROM:
Jay M. Gutierrez, Regional Counsel
SUBJECT:
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH JOHN KEITH OF ENVIROCARE, INC., AND GREG PARKER OF INTERNATIONAL NUTRONICS, INC.
On May 3,1985 I received a call from John Keith, attorney for Envirocare, Inc., wherein he advised me that the insurance policy attached to INI's March 21, 1984 submittal did not cover the period of the December, 1982 spill.
He further advised me that since October, 1983 INI has been receiving approximately 520,000 per month under the business interruption portion of their policy and represented it may not have been applied toward the cleanup effort.
inasmuch as INI is required to clarify their insurance situation by May 9, 1985, by reason of our April 19, 1985 letter to them, I called Greg Parker, advised him of John Keith's representations and specifically requested that he send a copy of the appropriate policy as part of the May 9 submittal and that he address the representations of John Keith.
He stated that the policy sent under cover on March 21, 1984, was identical to the policy in effect in December, 1982 and characterized the remaining representations of John Keith's as " totally f alse." He stated that INI has not received a penny directly f rom the carrier and that although a settlement has not been finalized, one is beinc structured wherein INI agree not to pursue a claim under the business interruption portier. of the policy in exchange for Lexington committing to pay all cleanup costs.

4 NUSPSC's Radwaste Solidification and TRANSFIX" systems are major components of its waste processing business.
These systems for processing radioactive liquid wastes are unique to NUSPSC.
Design and fabrication details for these systems are held in strictest confidence by all employees.
All employees of NUSPSC complete an agreement with NUSPSC regarding protection and non-disclosure of trade secret information at the commencement of their employ-ment.
The information included in the procedures contains the type of information covered under the non-disclosure agreement.
NUSPSC routinely stresses that such information is not to be discussed outside the company either during or after employment.
NUSPSC is in the process of making its initial entry
' nto the radwaste processing service market.
i The Radwaste Solidification and TRANSPIX" systems and associated chemical control information represent a
substantial commitment of personnel and financial resources for research, development, design and procedural controls.
This commitment has resulted in systems currently superior to that provided by competitors and this superiority is the basis on which system details are withheld from public disclosure.
The information included in the aforementioned documents is not available through public sources.
Release through public channels of the procedures will t
substantially harm the competitive position of NUSPSC.

NUSPSC has expended over $750,000 in salaries and capital equipment during the last year and is engaged in a capital building project to make these systems available.
Duplication of this effort by competitors would require both similar capital expenditures and the:
assembly of a team of experts similar to the design team employed by NUSPSC.
