The difference between this and Hiroshima is a difference in degree, not kind.

No. Not even close. Please read up on how nuclear weapons work and get back to us.

Lol! Such wow.

Please write about something that you know about. Depleted uranium cannot be made to explode, and it gives off almost no radiation.

...and added to the environment and air, uranium dust will be just great for long term health. Next thing we'll see is Ukraine asking for super-fund cleanup, healthcare, etc.

BTW, there are periodic claims of injury to US soldiers.

There was NO nuclear explosion.🙄

are you joking?

The radioactivity of freshly prepared DU is only about 60% the radioactivity of natural uranium as DU has less of the more radioactive isotopes U-234 and U-235 per mass unit than natural Uranium

he Royal Society study suggested that one in 1,000 soldiers who had had a large intake - ie been in a tank that was attacked with a depleted uranium missile - will die of lung cancer as a direct result of the radioactivity. (This compares to a lifetime risk of fatal lung cancer in the general population of about one in 250 for non-smokers. That means if 1,000 non-smokers are exposed to depleted uranium in heavy doses, five would die of lung cancer - rather than four if none had been exposed.)
