  For more info: Health Physics is the radiation safety group. http://www.hps.org/ Also, if something can "remain radioactive for billions of years" then it must not be putting out much radiation; otherwise it would decay away. The most you have here is the chemical toxicity danger, not much traction on the radioactivity line.

  m_astera If Roger posted the sentence "The sky is blue", would you agree? He is talking about DU and you are talking about presidential policies. DU has been used by alot more presidents than just Bush. I doubt that Bush knows much about DU, it is something the military has developed when they switched from using tungsten. Sorry I brought up the word tungsten.

  DU is a backup for the atomic bomb? How would that work; if the atomic bomb did not explode then we would drop DU on the enemy and it would do what?

  John McCarthy Based on your answer to my question, I now understand the situation, i.e. you don't know how DU could be used as a backup for the atomic bomb.

  I don't see any reason to "peruse ALL the DU articles on ALL the pages", as you seem to want me to. You stated that DU could be used as a backup for an atomic weapon, and I asked you how that would work. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. You could tell me how DU can be used as a backup to an atomic weapon, if you know. If you don't know don't worry, and don't call me names.
