What has the current President of the United States of America or his Administration got to do with the World Health Organisation Bobert?
Natural uranium consists of a mixture of three radioactive isotopes which are identified by the mass numbers 238U (99.27% by mass), 235U (0.72%) and 234U (0.0054%).
Depleted uranium contains about 99.8% 238U, 0.2% 235U and 0.001% 234U by mass.
The main difference between DU and natural uranium is that the former contains at least three times less 235U than the latter. DU, consequently, is weakly radioactive and a radiation dose from it would be about 60% of that from purified natural uranium with the same mass.
So Bobert according to science it is actually less radioactive than natural uranium that can be found just lying about on the face of the planet - So you tell us Bobert if DU is so dangerous how come we didn't all die off centuries ago, due to the amounts of natural uranium which is 1.67 times more radioactive.
