Market Wire,  January, 2006  

Spescom Software, Inc. (OTC BB: SPCO), a leading provider of enterprise content and configuration management solutions, announced that NuStart Energy Development, LLC, in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has selected Spescom eB to support its efforts in licensing the next generation of nuclear power plants.

The initial contract, valued at approximately $500,000, will provide a system to support NuStart in preparing its license application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The application is for a combined construction and operating license for new plants.

"The selection of eB Nuclear by NuStart Energy affirms that Spescom will play a significant role in the revival of nuclear energy in the U.S.," said Spescom Software CEO, Keith Stentiford. "Working closely with our nuclear customers has allowed us to deliver best-of-class solutions for the nuclear industry.

The consortium has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in response to the DOE's invitation to participate in a new licensing government/industry cost-sharing licensing process.

General Electric Company (GE) and Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC are the two reactor vendors, and are under subcontract to NuStart Energy Development.
