Description

On August 1, 2011, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to the Department of the Army (Army) for a Severity Level III violation involving the failure to implement 10 CFR 40.3, "License Requirements." Specifically, from April 1978, when NRC license SUB-459 expired, to the present, the Army continued to possess depleted uranium (DU) associated with the Davy Crockett weapons system in the form of spent fragments of spotting rounds (obtained from 1962 to 1968, and expended prior to 1968) at firing ranges located at the Army's two installations in Hawaii, Schofield Barracks and Pohakuloa Training Area. In addition to the two installations in Hawaii, the Army has also identified the presence of spent DU spotting rounds at other Army installations across the United States.
