As you may be aware, on July 9, 2009, Aerotest was informed by the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "NRC") that, due to concerns regarding the degree offoreign ownership of Aerotest' s ultimate parent (a US (DE) corporation listed on the NYSE), the NRC would deny Aerotest's application for renewal of its operating license, effectively requiring Aerotest to divest itself of its nuclear radiography facility.

  • potential transferee can complete this transaction prior to September 13, 2010. However, because of the current uncertainty involving the future ability of the U.S. Department of Energy to dispose of the spent nuclear fuel generated at the facility, and, therefore, the difficulty of predicting costs associated with storage of such fuel, the potential transferee is unwilling to go forward with the transaction.

Aerotest has attempted, without success, to resolve the spent fuel issue in several ways.

Most recently, Aerotest made a proposal to the Department of Defense that it feels would have allowed its nuclear radiography facility to continue operations. Unfortunately, Aerotest has received no response to this proposal. Consequently, AeroteSt feels that it is prudent to notify you that, barring any intervening government actions, Aerotest will likely be required to regrettably cease operations at its nuclear radiography facility on or shortly after September 13, 2010.
