Honolulu tech firm extends deal with Canadian power company

Honolulu-based Cellular Bioengineering Inc. said a Canadian power company has re-ordered a gel it developed to help in the remediation of radiological and nuclear contamination.

The company's CBI Polymers division will be shipping a bulk order to Ontario Power Generation, which will use it in reducing loose contamination at nuclear power plants. Development of the product, DeconGel, was funded by the Hawaii Technology Development Venture and the Office of Naval Research with additional funding from other defense groups.
