You make a good point. I am having to assume that the fiecom/biecom is a one to one replacement for 1 kg of this material to 1kg of lead. We need more information on how thick a brick is its height and width. Then we could calculate the volume and then if we knew approxiately how many bricks a plt would use we could then use the density of lead and figure out exactly how many lbs of lead would make up a brick. With information like that we could be more accurate. I am just assuming it is a close one to one ratio for freecom/biecoms density to lead. That is based on ST saying it is heavy. I would like to see his calculation because it is my understanding he has a technical background.
I do not know the details of which material has to be used if it is the more expensive one then the material cost would be 3 times higher @ $375K. I would guess labor and engineering cost to do the job would be 3-4 times the material cost. So I would guess the company would get $1M per plt job. I still think that is on the low side. They would then get the jobs for the material to enclose the waste & the cost to protect the power lines with that shielding material. We need some idea the potential business per plt for this material. Then we could figure out the market potential for the product. Since China will build a plt every yr and russia sounds like it will be on a similar path we can then come up with the # of plts worldwide per yr. I am assuming it is 4-6 plts a yr to be built. We need more inputs from everyone.
