the relatively limited growth in the nuclear energy industry during the 1980&#8217;s

of engineers, managers and other nuclear energy industry experts is aging. In
the nuclear renaissance, we believe that the industry will be challenged in
acquiring and retaining sufficient qualified expertise. Moreover, in countries
studying new nuclear energy programs, the number of qualified nuclear energy
personnel is very limited, and we believe that those countries will need to rely
on significant support from non-domestic service providers and experts to ensure
success in those programs.</font></div>

emergence in the field of nuclear energy consulting is in direct response to the

we have a conceptual nuclear fuel design for weapons-grade plutonium

criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,

following is a summary of the general terms of the debt securities that we may
issue. We will file&#160;a prospectus supplement that may contain additional
terms when we issue debt securities. The terms presented here, together with the
terms in a related prospectus supplement, will be a description of the material
terms of the debt securities. You should also read the indenture under which the
debt securities are to be issued. We have filed a form of indenture governing
different types of debt securities with the SEC as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. All capitalized terms
have the meanings specified in the indenture.</font></div>

issue, from time to time, debt securities, in one or more series, that will

to the subordinated debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities
together as the subordinated securities. The debt securities that we may offer
will be issued under an indenture between us and an entity, identified in the
applicable prospectus supplement, as trustee. Debt securities, whether senior,
senior subordinated or subordinated, may be issued as convertible debt
securities or exchangeable debt securities. The following is a summary of the
material provisions of the indenture filed as an exhibit to the registration

indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It
provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we
may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate.
We may, without the consent of the holders of any series, increase the principal
amount of securities in that series in the future, on the same terms and
conditions and with the same CUSIP numbers as that series. Except for the
limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our
assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any
covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities
protection&#160;against changes in our operations, financial condition or
transactions involving us.</font></div>

issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as &#8220;discount securities,&#8221;
which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount.
These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a
discount, may be issued with &#8220;original issue discount&#8221;, or OID, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics.
Material U.S. federal&#160;income tax considerations applicable to debt
securities issued with original issue discount will be described in more detail
in any applicable prospectus supplement.</font></div>

connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities
in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing
transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities
than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions
consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress.
The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount
received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or
for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering
transactions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of
the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the
open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. Underwriters may engage in overallotment. If any
underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which
they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable
prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by
purchasing the securities in the open market.</font></div>

successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been

      Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
      expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

      (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
      a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
      being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
      counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
      court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
      indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
