     except Fred Feizollahi's engineering department.

3.   The Company has paid signing bonus ("Signing Bonus") of $560,000.00, hereby
     receipted for by Prospective Employee.  The Signing Bonus shall be
     irrevocable and non-refundable to the Company and is for the inducement to
     the Prospective Employee to execute this Agreement and leave his current

5.   The Company shall pay to Prospective Employee in the second twelve (12)
     month period of employment, a salary of $225,000, plus a guaranteed cash
     bonus in the amount of $75,000 payable in two equal payments of $37,500
     each at the end of the sixth and the twelfth month from the commencement of
     the second twelve (12) month period of employment.  Further, Company shall
     pay Prospective Employee a performance cash bonus of $50,000.00 based on
     predetermined performance goal as set forth below.  (The total compensation
     is $350,000 in the second twelve (12) month time period if performance goal
     is met, excluding stock options as hereinafter set forth).  The performance
     goal is defined as the Company obtaining a minimum of $15 million ("New
     Business Goal") of new DOE business (contracted capacity) from INEEL,
     Hanford, Rocky Flat or any other DOE contracts within twenty-four (24)
     months from commencement of the employment.  Once the $15 million minimum
     New Business Goal requirement is met, the performance cash bonus will be
     earned based on $10,000 per million dollars of new business up to a maximum
     of $50,000.  Such performance bonus earned by the Prospective Employee
     shall be paid to the Prospective Employee at six month intervals commencing
     the date of achievement of the new business goal, but no later than 30 days
     after earning the maximum second twelve (12) month employment period
     performance bonus as stated above.  In the event Prospective Employee is
     terminated by the Company, resigns for Good Reason, as hereinafter defined,
     or due to Change of Control, as hereinafter defined, or dies or becomes
     disabled during the second twelve (12) month period, such performance bonus
     will be computed and paid on the same basis as if he were still employed
     with the Company for such period.

6.   The Company shall pay to Prospective Employee in the third twelve (12)
     month period of employment a salary of $240,000, plus a cash bonus up to
     the amount of $110,000 based on the performance goal to be determined by
     both Parties.  Such goal will not be less than $20 million of DOE New
     Business ($20 million of DOE new business contracted capacity) from
     Hanford, Rocky Flats, INEEL or any other DOE contracts, however, alternate
     sources of "New Business" may be agreed upon between the Company and the
     Prospective Employee as the basis for setting the performance goal (New
     Business) stated above.  Such bonus shall be paid to Prospective Employee
     pro-rated at 6 month intervals commencing the date of achievement of the
     performance goal, but no later than thirty (30) days after earning the
     bonus set forth above.  In the event Prospective Employee is terminated by
     the Company, resigns for Good Reason, as hereinafter defined, or due to
     Change of Control, as hereinafter defined, or dies or becomes disabled
     during the third twelve (12) month  period, such bonus will be computed and
     paid on the same basis as if he were still employed with the Company for
     such period.  During the third twelve (12) month period of employment only,
     the Prospective Employee will be paid salary at the annual salary rate of
     $240,000 only after the performance goal as agreed upon between the Company
     and the Prospective Employee as stated above is achieved and

                                       2
<PAGE>

     the actual business delivered during the first 24 months of employment is
     at least $10 million. During the third twelve (12) month period of
     employment only, until such a time when the performance goal is achieved,
     the employee will be paid salary at the reduced annual rate of $150,000. In
     the event the performance goal for the third twelve (12) month period is
     not mutually agreed to, then it shall be as set forth above, which is
     defined as the Company obtaining a minimum of $20 million ("New Business
     Goal") of new DOE business (contracted capacity) from INEEL, Hanford, Rocky
     Flat or any other DOE contracts within 24 months from commencement of the
     employment.

7.   In addition to the Company's New Business Goals, as the Chief Operating
     Officer, Prospective Employee understands that the overall Company
     performance such as profitability, cost cutting measures, health and
     safety, effective and efficient operation, new market and product
     development, will also be within Prospective Employee's executive
     responsibility.  However, the standard for Performance Bonus eligibility
     shall be the New Business Goals.  Because of such responsibilities of
     Prospective Employee, the Company agrees to provide Prospective Employee
     with a sufficient operations budget assistance and support to allow the
     accomplishment of the New Business Goals, such as reasonable travel and
     entertainment expenses, cell phone, computer, etc and other customary
     Business Development expenses, as well as to assist Prospective Employee in
     his overall responsibilities.  Prospective Employee is authorized to incur
     expenses in the performance of his duties. The Company shall reimburse
     Prospective Employee for all such expenses ten days after submitting the
     expenses or at the next pay period, whichever is sooner.

8.   A.  In the event the Prospective Employee resigns from the Company due to
     no breach by the Company of this agreement, before the expiration of the
     thirty-six (36) month term of this Agreement, Prospective Employee's
     employment will end, without further obligation to the Company, EXCEPT,
     Prospective Employment shall pay to the Company certain penalty amounts due
     to such resignation based upon the timing of his resignation from the
     Company.  In the event Prospective Employee resigns effective within the
     first twelve (12) months of the term he shall pay the Company the penalty
     sum of $162,500 within ten (10) days after such resignation's
     effectiveness.  In event Prospective Employee resigns effective between
     twelve (12) months and twenty-four (24) months of the term, he shall pay
     the Company the penalty sum of $108,000 within ten (10) days after such
     resignation's effectiveness.  In the event Prospective Employee resigns
     effective between twenty-four (24) months and thirty-six (36) months of the
     term, he shall pay the Company the penalty sum of $60,000 within ten (10)
     days after such resignation's effectiveness.  No other payments by the
     Prospective Employee other than above are due to the company under any
     circumstances of voluntary separation of the Prospective Employee from the
     Company that are not due to the Company's breach of this Agreement.
     However, in the event the Prospective Employee resigns during the term of
     this
