Today marked the opening of the Free Radicals Research Institute in the West Rejuvius university of Bryeton.

The institute was formed after the investigation into a new compound metal known as Silica Cryoxyborium was discovered after a science experiment gone wrong – thankfully no one was harmed – the compound metal acts as a free radical catalyst in early tests.

The institute has been formed as a research group into seeing how these free radicals perform when mixed with a series of materials that under normal conditions require high energy to combust, yet produce no emissions themselves. But the high energy required makes them unfeasable.

We hope that the institute wil be able to develop a way to use these free radical catalysts to more easily combust these materials and produce extremely low emission, or potentially emission free combustion. This could well become a viable stable gap from our current fossil/green fuel mix to our fission energy predicted within the next 10 years.

This technology could potentially produce less than 10g/1000km of CO2 and no Nox emissions.

Bryeton University is currently looking to take on 10 research students, preferably with 1 year experience in Chemical Science, at the end of the tenure (1 year) they will receive a Degree in Free Radical Science from Bryeton.

The institute has $50million funding per year, all other nation funding will result in exclusive technology rights.

ooc:Hey, note: signing in an intern might result in some rp'ing down the line. But all's good and comminication will of course be made before hand :P

ooc: Bump due to 10 post validation rule,grrr.

"There we have it" exclaimed Dr Jim Howe, clicking off the presentation and turning the lights on. "I do hope that explained the ideals and hope in this project, I hope to see some of you again, either in board meetings or in research"

He paused looking around, trying to gauge the reactions of the audience
"Free Tea, Coffee and Soda at the back" their faces brightened as they shuffled to the back of the room murmering among themselves as they went

The Kingdom of SaintB is interested in the furtherance of this research, we would like to make a donation of $1 billion USD to this line of research.

The donation is most generous of you!

Many Rejuvian scholars are lining up to fill the international interns positions, but do not worry, research will be starting post haste!

The research facility is now equipped with brand new efficient dynameters and emission checking equipment ahead of schedule.

Think nothing of our generosity, my only regret is that my we can not recommend any experts in the field of fission to help in the furtherance of this new technology in a more direct manner.
