Military opponents dismissed on Hawaii Island

For some Big Island residents, a busy week in protest of the Pohakuloa Training Area and the controversial issue of depleted uranium on Hawaii Island, has concluded with a litigious blow to their cause.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has denied a request for a hearing made by Cory Harden, Jim Albertini, Isaac D. Harp, and Oahus Luwella K. Leonardi, in a memorandum and order issued on Wednesday.

The NRC Administrative Judges found that Harden, Harp and Albertini, all vocal opponents of the military training on the Big Island, had failed to establish standing in the matter of the Armys pending application for a request to possess depleted uranium on at Pohakuloa, as well as Schofield Barracks on Oahu.
