[CPEO-MEF] Correction - Base doesn't use tungsten alloy

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Base doesn't use tungsten alloy

Because of an editing error, a headline on Page A-1 of Wednesday's 
(February 23, 2005) Cape Cod Times (and posted on CPEO's Military
Environmental Forum)
incorrectly stated that ammunition used at Camp Edwards causes tumors in
rats. The tungsten alloy studied is used in penetrator rounds, which are not
used on the Cape base. Soldiers training on Camp Edwards use small-arms
munitions made of a tungsten-nylon.
