On July 8, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a memorandum and order regarding the application by Pa'ina Hawaii LLC for a license to install and operate a food irradiator with a cobalt-60 source at a site near Honolulu International Airport. While the application was filed in 2005 and the NRC issued the materials license two years later, a prolonged intervention by a citizen organization has kept the matter before an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB), which delivered an initial decision in August 2009 that was appealed by the applicant and the NRC staff. The commissioners, in their order on the appeal, called upon the ASLB to hold further hearings and the staff to carry out more studies.
