US Dep't of Defense officials lie about adverse health effects of DU
This sheet on depleted uranium is full of misinformation and omits all references to the DU team reports, the DU project, and simply lies about our actual adverse health effects from uranium weapons exposures.
Many of us who are enrolled in the VA DU MEDICAL PROGRAM HAVE SERIOUS DU RELATED- DIAGNOSED MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN ABANDONED
VA physicians have only tested a few hundred individuals (Gulf War Review volume 13, #1, page 12; www.va.gov) out of thousands who were supposed to received testing and medical care as required by numerous orders and regulations.
The October 1993 DOD DU medical care directive mandated testing within 24 hours of initial exposure using the radio-bioassay not weeks, months, or years later as done now if done at all. Once this test is done an extrapolation from mesured to actual dose must be done too but that has been ignored.
ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS OF URANIUM EXPOSURES
I recommend that everyone read- study the Pentagon's own 2002 staff briefing on adverse health effects of uranium exposures. If you have questions just ask me. - [http://www.traprockpeace.org/du_dtic_wakayama_Aug2002.html]
DOD, DA, USAF, USN, USMC, USCG, VA, MOD (British), CND (Canadian), AND (Australian) and NATO officials have for years
continued with delayed and denied care in order to maintain the cover up of the always known serious adverse health and environmental effects and to sustain uranium weapons use while avoiding all liability as specified in the March 1991 Los Alamos memorandum written by LTC Mike Ziehmn (http://www.traprockpeace.org/twomemos.html).
The March 1991 memo written by LTC Greg Lyle was also very clear in citing serious health risks.
I am the Army officer who received these two directives. LTC Lyle is correct. However I refused and still refuse to comply with LTC Ziehmn directive in order to sustain uranium weapons use.
As the former director of the U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Project, the U.S. Army health physicist who cleaned up the mess following Gulf War 1, who recommended the initial medical care, and who is a confirmed DU casualty I am fed up with the continued lies and refusals by our leaders to comply with all known provisions of U.S. Army Regulation 700-48, LTG Peake's April 29, 2004 order mandating medical care for all exposed individuals, and refusals to comply with all of the numerous medical orders over the years.

Major, retired/ disabled, USAR
Simply: Depleted Uranium Situation Requires Action By President Bush and Prime Minister Blair
Dr. Doug Rokke, Ph.D. former Director, U.S. Army Depleted Uranium project
January 6, 2006 - While U.S. and British military personnel continue using illegal uranium munitions- America's and England's own "dirty bombs" U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Energy, and U.S. Department of Defense officials continue to deny that there are any adverse health and environmental effects as a consequence of the manufacture, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions to avoid liability for the willful and illegal dispersal of a radioactive toxic material - depleted uranium. They arrogantly refuse to comply with their own regulations, orders, and directives that require United States Department of Defense officials to provide prompt and effective medical care "all" exposed individuals [Medical Management of Unusual Depleted Uranium Casualties, DOD, Pentagon, 10/14/93, Medical Management of Army personnel Exposed to Depleted Uranium (DU) Headquarters, U.S. Army Medical Command 29 April 2004), and section 2-5 of AR 70-48].
CLEAN UP DISPERSED RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION
They also refuse to clean up dispersed radioactive Contamination as required by Army Regulation- AR 700-48: "Management of Equipment Contaminated With Depleted Uranium or Radioactive Commodities" (Headquarters, Department Of The Army, Washington, D.C., September 2002) and U.S. Army Technical Bulletin- TB 9-1300-278: "Guidelines For Safe Response To Handling, Storage, And Transportation Accidents Involving Army Tank Munitions Or Armor Which Contain Depleted Uranium" (Headquarters, Department Of The Army, Washington, D.C., JULY 1996).
Specifically section 2-4 of United States Army Regulation-AR 700-48 dated September 16, 2002 requires that:
(1) "Military personnel "identify, segregate, isolate, secure, and label all RCE" (radiologically contaminated equipment).
(2) "Procedures to minimize the spread of radioactivity will be implemented as soon as possible."
(3) "Radioactive material and waste will not be locally disposed of through burial, submersion, incineration, destruction in
place, or abandonment" and
(4) "All equipment, to include captured or combat RCE, will be surveyed, packaged, retrograded, decontaminated and released IAW Technical Bulletin 9-1300-278, DA PAM 700-48" (Note: Maximum exposure limits are specified in Appendix F).
The previous and current use of uranium weapons, the release of radioactive components in destroyed U.S. and foreign military equipment, and releases of industrial, medical, research facility radioactive materials have resulted in unacceptable exposures. Therefore, decontamination must be completed as required by U.S. Army Regulation 700-48 and should include releases of all radioactive materials resulting from military operations.
CONTAMINATION IS NOT LIMITED
The extent of adverse health and environmental effects of uranium weapons contamination is not limited to combat zones but includes facilities and sites where uranium weapons were manufactured or tested including Vieques; Puerto Rico; Colonie, New York; Concord, MA; Jefferson Proving Grounds, Indiana; and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
Therefore medical care must be provided by the United States Department of Defense officials to all individuals affected by the manufacturing, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions. Thorough environmental remediation also must be completed without further delay.
ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY URANIUM MUNITIONS USE
I am amazed that fourteen years after was asked to clean up the initial DU mess from Gulf War 1 and over ten years since I finished the depleted uranium project that United States Department of Defense officials and others still attempt to justify uranium munitions use while ignoring mandatory requirements.
I am dismayed thatDepartment of Defense and Department of Energy officials and representatives continue personal attacks aimed to silence or discredit those of us who are demanding that medical care be provided to all DU casualties and that environmental remediation is completed in compliance with U.S. Army Regulation 700-48.
WILLFUL DISPERSAL OF TONS
But beyond the ignored mandatory actions the willful dispersal of tons of solid radioactive and chemically toxic waste in the form of uranium munitions is illegal (http://www.traprockpeace.org/karen_parker_du_illegality.pdf) and just does not even pass the common sense test and according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, DHS, is a dirty bomb.
DHS issued"dirty bomb" responseguidelines, http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/fr-cont.html - on January 3, 2006 for incidents within the United States but ignore DOD use of uranium weapons and existing DOD regulations.
These guidelines specifically state that: "Characteristics of RDD and IND Incidents: A radiological incident is defined as an event or series of events, deliberate or accidental, leading to the release, or potential release, into the environment of radioactive material in sufficient quantity to warrant consideration of protective actions. Use of an RDD or IND is an act of terror that produces a radiological incident." Thus the use of uranium munitions is "an act or terror" as defined by DHS.
USE OF URANIUM MUNITIONS CAN NOT BE JUSTIFIED
Finally continued compliance with the infamous March 1991 Los Alamos Memorandum that was issued to ensure continued use of uranium munitions can not be justified.
In conclusion: the President of the United States - George W. Bush and The Prime Minister of Great Britain - Tony Blair must acknowledge and accept responsibility for willful use of illegal uranium munitions- their own "dirty bombs"- resulting in adverse health and environmental effects.
PRESIDENT BUSH AND PRIME MINISTER BLAIR ALSO SHOULD ORDER:
1. medical care for all casualties,
2. thorough environmental remediation,
3. immediate cessation of retaliation against all of us who demand compliance with medical care and environmental remediation requirements,
4. and stop the already illegal the use (UN finding) of depleted uranium munitions.
