HILO -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has wrapped up its investigation of depleted uranium at Pohakuloa Training Area and Schofield Barracks by issuing a "Notice of Violation."

The notice, issued Monday, states a Security Level III violation occurred, for which the base civil penalty is $3,500. But the regulatory agency gave the Army credit because neither Schofield Barracks nor Pohakuloa has previously been the subject of "escalated enforcement action" and the Army identified the contamination and notified the NRC, the notice said.

"The NRC has concluded that the Army has provided adequate information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken, and planned to be taken, to correct the violation and to prevent recurrence, so the enforcement action is resolved,"

That's not good enough for Jim Albertini, who has long been critical of the military and its operations in Hawaii:

yep ,all because the local Libtards and Sierra Club will not shut up

They need to draft all these people into IED detection units in AFG . If they are so enviro obsessive they surely wouldn’t mind enlistment to go clean up that spoiled environment.
