SUBJECT:
NRC INVESTIGATION REPORT NO. 4-2019-011 - HAWAII TESTING &
TECHNOLOGY INC.
To Whom it May Concern:
This letter refers to an investigation conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Investigations of activities involving Hawaii Testing & Technology Inc. (HT&T) in Kapolei, Hawaii. The investigation evaluated whether a former Regional Manager for HSI Group, Inc. (HSI) used, or caused the unauthorized use of, a radiography source that was possessed under HSIs NRC license for work performed by HT&T, an unlicensed company.
As a result of the NRC investigation, on November 4, 2021, the former HSI Regional Manager was indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts, including charges related to the subject of this investigation. On June 3, 2022, HT&Ts corporation was involuntarily dissolved by the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. In consideration of the criminal proceedings and HT&Ts defunct status, the NRC is not taking any separate, civil enforcement action against HT&T pertaining to this matter.
You are not required to respond to this letter. However, should you choose to respond, your response should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Regional Administrator, Region I, 475 Allendale Rd., Suite 102, King of Prussia, PA 19406-1415 within 30 days of the date of this letter.
