Hi, it may be worth keeping an eye on this site. I have just read a book available from this site (more a leaflet), written by Pauline Rigby called 'Your future with Depleted Uranium'. I found it a bit of an eye-opener. I had never realised exactly what depleted uranium really is: It is the by-product from the enrichment process. It is still highly radioactive, consisting almost entirely of U-238. The U-238 is 1.7 times heavier than lead, & has incredible armour-piercing characteristics. It also turns anything it contacts radioactive. This has lead to deaths of servicemen, & civilians, and all the problems of a radioactive area causing birth defects, etc long after the conflict has finished. As a shell is fired, it burns, releasing Uranuim Oxide a deadly poison. The booklet also states that Bush Senior was convicted of war crimes for the use of DU armaments.
