Nordion Inc. (TSX: NDN, NYSE: NDZ) is a global health science company that provides products used for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. The company supplies targeted therapies, sterilization technologies and medical isotopes to more than 60 countries around the world.
Nordion is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and generates about 65% of its revenue from within North America. Nordion generated $274 million USD in revenues from continuing operations in the 2011 fiscal year.
Steve West is the company's CEO.
Founded in 1946, originally the radium sales department of Eldorado Mining and Refining Ltd., Nordion developed one of the first teletherapy units that used the radioisotope cobalt-60 to destroy cancerous tumours.
Soon after, the division was given responsibility for selling radioisotopes produced by the newly established nuclear research facility at Chalk River, Ontario. As a result, in 1951, Eldorado established a commercial products division (CPD) to manage the isotope business, especially cobalt-60 used in cancer treatment.
See the world the way I do
Through the eyes of a bitter truth
Fear will shoot through your soul.
You raise your cup and drink their blood
You've gained the power, but you've lost your soul
Oh, what have you done?
Can you feel their breath?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Cast away your chains and run
The battle for your life's began
Don't ever look back.
You can hear the hideous cries
They're getting close, you know they're near
Oh, they'll tear you apart
Can you feel their breath?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
