| Most of the Uranium metal on the market now days is Depleted Uranium, that is Uranium from which the U-235 has been removed for use in reactor fuel or weapons. While pure U-238 is a heavy metal, and toxic, it cannot be used to make bombs (it can be used in them for a reflector, tamper or pusher). For a quick review of industrial uses see http://www.xs4all.nl/~stgvisie/VISIE/Loewenstein/industrial-du.html YEs Ovadiah, many nations, including Israel, use depleted Uranium in ammunition. This is another example of a misleading single source article which implies much to the uneducated, but reveals a great deal to one who understands the issues. "It was a man-made component, not natural [ore]. There is no sign there was already nuclear fuel or [production] activity there," - Reuters If it was not enriched Uranium, such as reactor fuel, or Highly Enriched Uranium (mostly U-235) and man made, then it is Depleted Uranium. And Depleted Uranium can mean many things, but not a reactor. |
