Judge: Army Taking Too Long on Depleted Uranium

A federal administrative judge says that Save the Valley and the people who live around Jefferson Proving Ground have had to wait too long to find out what the Army intends to do about the radioactive depleted uranium it left behind after testing munitions.
The judge, Alan S. Rosenthal, wrote in a memo Thursday that the responsibility for this state of affairs cannot be laid at the doorstep of (Save the Valley). Rather, it has been brought about by the conduct of the (Army) over the course of the past five years, conduct that has received to a significant extent the seeming indulgence of the (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) staff.
