Hawaiian Islands are Contaminated with Ballistic Uranium
Hawaiian Islands are Contaminated with Ballistic Uranium
For Immediate Release Contact: Lindafaye Kroll tenfingers10toes@ protecthawaii. ws
Note: The US Army admitted the radiological contamination of Hawaii in the summer of 2007. The contamination was later confirmed by the senior US Senator from Hawaii, The Honorable Daniel Inouye. The first 2007 Army air born radiological contamination survey identified 45 locations with dangerous levels of Gamma Ray radiation from US Army uranium munitions. Satellite radiation observations have not been released by the Pentagon.

Hawaiian Islands are Contaminated with Ballistic Uranium

Army admits to the contamination of Hawaiian islands with depleted uranium spotting rounds on Schofield Barracks, O'ahu and Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawai'i Island. Help us save paradise from this most toxic substance.
Public comment to U.S. Army SEIS deadline Oct. 30, 2007 Email Army at PublicComments@ aec.apgea. army.mil Hawaii Tourism Authority at info@hawaiitourisma uthority. org
(Hawaii) Depleted uranium (DU) is stored in Hawai'i under the Naval Radioactive Materials Permit. The Navy accidentally fired two DU rounds from Pearl Harbor in 1994. The rounds landed somewhere above Aiea and were never recovered. The Environmental Impact Statement of the 25th Infantry Transformation to the Stryker Brigade Combat Team published in 2004 states emphatically that depleted uranium munitions were never part of the Army's arsenal.
Despite this claim spent DU spotting rounds were found at Schofield Barracks, (An army base and live-fire training range on O'ahu), in August 2005. This discovery was not disclosed by the military but through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) instigated by concerned residents of Hawai'i.

4. Ballistic uranium? WTF does that mean? |
|
Uranium that once flew through the air. It is a scientifically meaningless term.
Also, depleted uranium is not a gamma emitter. It is an alpha emitter. A very weak alpha emitter.
DU is dangerous - it is a toxic heavy metal. It is not dangerous unless inhaled.
