GUEST, Blind Desert Pete stated the facts as I understand 'em. Depleted Uranium is dangerous from its actions as a heavy metal, not from its very low radiation level (lower than natural uranium).

Guest, Bruce O offered total irrelevancy, which I find very irritating. It's bad enough in a converstion, but to sit down and type out something that has nothing whatever to do with the subject... dunno, it never turned my crank.

ichMael offers visual terrorism. Pure scare tactics and probably unrelated to the topic as well. There are tens of thousands of hideous birth defects across the world every year without having to drag radiation into it. How to tell if those barbarisms are real or photo-shopped. They appear to be there to instill horror and do nothing else. Classic disinformation.

artbrooks comment is on point and also of the real world.
