Aloha All Hawai’i Truth Seekers:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Public Hearings are pau (finished). Mahalo (thank-you) to all who gave testimony against the military receiving a NRC license to handle and possess radioactive DU in Hawai’i. In all of the public statements to the NRC, that I have heard or read, all were against this NRC license being given to the military.
Does anyone reading this believe the NRC officials will really listen to the public demands of 24/7 air monitoring placed around all the live fire training ranges in Hawai’i? Does anyone here believe the NRC will license Pohakuloa Live Fire Training Area on Hawai’i island and the Makua Valley Live fire Range on O’ahu, despite the strong public testimony against it? Did the NRC officials really hear that… the residents of Hawai’i DO NOT WANT HAWAI’I TO BECOME A NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP? I apologize for shouting but this is an important issue to the health and well being of all Hawai’i residents.
In the US Army 2004 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) the military stated (they ) “would NEVER transport or use radioactive material inside Hawai’i”. So now they have changed their minds? The Army now is working hard to make Hawai’i a radioactive nuclear waste dump because it is already contaminated, which they were forced to admit and now it wants a license to make it so.
It is common knowledge since 2005 that Hawai’i is contaminated with ballistic depleted uranium oxide dust and that during every live fire training exercise this DU dust gets displaced, air bourn, scattered and carried in the wind over our communities. This sounds like science fiction to me.
This is an example of when reality is stranger than science fiction. As Mark Twain said: "It ain't what you know that will get you in trouble, it's what you know for sure that just ain't so!" What we know for sure is that Hawai’i is contaminated with ballistic DU oxide dust. All we can do as educators is to keep telling the truth of this gross contamination and expose the Army’s public health insult to the “precautionary principle”, like halting all live fire training on radioactive ranges until complete and transparent testing can be done. I am pro clean, green and healthy Hawai’i. Please view:
