What they did do at Nellis Range was to set up live fire tests, i.e. give pilots real targets to fly and fire at. Those targets would be hit, they would then be inspected - I presume by people.

By people in protective gear. (If not, that's just one more thing to convince me that the current US administration is insane.) The people who were exposed to inhaled DU previously did not have protective gear.

The effects on the environment would be identical to those in Iraq, possibly not identical to conditions in Kosovo.

The effects on the environment perhaps, but not the effects on people who are exposed to inhaled DU.

As the article I posted stated an environmental study was carried out, and as a result of it's findings testing has been resumed in conjunction with ongoing environmental monitoring.

Nowhere did you mention studies being one on people who were exposed to inhaled DU. If you know of any such studies, please post a link to them.
