No pacification here. The bathtub is titanium.

There may be DU in the engines being used as counterweights, but the tub is titanium.

I surrender. Must be the French in me. Wait, I'm not French at all; I'm Irish! Kiss me blarney stone. >;)

It's been a few years since I have been around them. You're right but I am pretty sure DU is used in the airframe.

Lots of AC use DU as counterweights on control surfaces or trim tabs. Some helicopters use it in the rotor blades to help sustain rotor inertia.

For a nation overrun with greens, France gets an amazing proportion of its power from nuclear energy.
