US Nuclear Corp. (OTCBB: UCLE), a leading manufacturer of advanced radiation detection instrumentation, recently announced profitable financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. 

"We are pleased to announce profitable second quarter results that reflect a strong customer demand in our tritium monitoring products," commented Robert I. Goldstein, President, CEO, and Chairman of US Nuclear Corp. 

"We continue to add significant orders to our back-log, thus ensuring a highly productive third and fourth quarter where these orders are projected to ship. Furthermore, we have solidified our position as the forefront commercial supplier of radiation sniffing drones, working with nuclear power plants and the FAA to determine the specific regulations for this emerging market which will drive growth for us. We also experienced a significant increase in demand for our unique tritium water monitors, for both fresh water and sea water, which we expect is a result of regulations tightening world-wide on drinking water quality, and increased incidences of tritium found to be leaking into groundwater, or in the case of Fukushima, releasing the tritiated water into the ocean."
