"We are very pleased to receive this order for the advanced isotope transport casks and thank Alpha Omega Services for their continued business with our Ranor division," said Mr. James Molinaro, CEO of TechPrecision Corporation. "These isotope transport casks provide safe transport of isotopes and were approved by the NRC in February of 2012. Our Ranor division received its certification from the NRC in March of 2012, which speaks to our quality manufacturing capabilities for large-scale, manufacturing engineering, precision machining, fabrication and assembly/test processes. We look forward to additional growth opportunities with this product offering as the market discontinues the use of older casks that do not meet current NRC requirements."
Troy Hedger, president, Alpha Omega Services commented, "We at Alpha Omega Services are very excited to have received approval from the NRC for our unique isotope cask design. Our partnership with TechPrecision and the Ranor division's timely certification enables us to quickly deliver a quality product to serve this critical market.
