Big Island, HAWAII -- The U.S. Army said there is no health risk from depleted uranium to those working on or living near the Pohakuloa Training area on the Big Island.

The Army Tuesday allowed the media a first hand look at the area where depleted uranium is believed to have been used at Pohakuloa during weapons training between 1962 and 1965.

Nearly two years ago, the army took samples of the soil and Tuesday released the results of their analysis. They found the radiological risk at Pohakuloa was well below the Environmental Protection Agency's acceptable risk of one in ten thousand.

"Their orders of magnitude are way below what the EPA and NRC considers to be a risk to either humans or the environment," said Greg Komp, radiation safety officer with the U.S. Army Safety Office.

The Davy Crockett Weapons System was classified at the time, so much of the research had to be done by digging through records.

The Army said it determined the majority of the 714 rounds containing radioactive waste were likely fired at Schofield barracks on Oahu, not the Big Island.

"We really could not find any hot spots of depleted uranium which means there weren't large clumps or targeting of depleted uranium. That tells us that not a lot was fired up here," said Komp.

But a small group of peace activists who had gathered outside of the training facility were concerned the Army is not telling the whole story.

"There's two very strong lines of evidence that there were 2,000 spotter rounds. The Army only found fragments from maybe four and they don't seem real worried about where the other 2,000 are," said activist Cory Harden.

Activists were also calling for the Army to stop it's live fire training for fear of stirring up dust that puts depleted uranium into the air.

The Army said it's still studying dust samples taken based on those concerns, but so far, they're not finding any health hazards in those samples either.

The Army also said it's working on cleaning up any depleted uranium residue in the training facility.

"So in the end, we can continue to train our Army and Marine Corps forces who need to train here, still be good stewards of the land and most especially, good neighbors for the people of the Big Island," said Col. Doug Mulbury, Garrison Commander of U.S. Army Garrison, Hawaii.
