Five Star® Begins Construction of Nuclear Products Facility

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Products, Inc. of Fairfield, Connecticut is pleased to announce that in association with a co-manufacturing partner it has commenced construction of a dedicated manufacturing facility to support its Nuclear Power Products' initiative. Located in northeastern Ohio, the facility will include a Nuclear Quality Assurance Laboratory in addition to manufacturing and warehousing spaces that meet the demanding nuclear regulatory requirements.

The construction coincides with Five Star's implementation of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 10CFR50 Appendix B and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1 Nuclear Quality Assurance plans. These standards provide requirements and guidelines for the establishment and execution of quality assurance programs for supporting nuclear facilities and are preferred for the sale of products to any nuclear facility in the United States.

"Five Star's high quality and superior product reputation is a perfect match with the Nuclear Power industry," commented David Babcock, President and CEO.
