What else can I help you with?
What gene is depleted uranium on?
Any gene; depleted uranium is uranium containing more than 99,8 % of the isotope uranium 238.
Minimum safe distance from depleted uranium hazard?
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not significative.
When was Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime created?
Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime was created in 2006.
What is Vaseline glass made of?
Vaseline glass got its start from being made out of natural Uranium until the beginning of World War II, then after that it was made out of depleted Uranium.
Is depleted uranium 40 percent more radioactive than natural uranium?
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural uranium.
Is Uranium a man made element?
No, Uranium is naturally occurring. But all elements beyond uranium are man-made.
How many Iraqi children have died as a result of the United States using depleted uranium?
You'll have to make your question more clear. Are you talking about depleted uranium munitions? Or are you claiming the US are using depleted uranium for something else?
Does a chemical mask protect against depleted uranium?
Against uranium powders or liquid aerosols you need a mask with filter for powders. Bulk depleted uranium is practically not dangerous.
Are the atomic bomb and depleted uranium the same weapon?
No, the atomic bomb and depleted uranium are not the same thing. Nuclear weapons are made with enriched uranium or with plutonium as the fissionable material. Depleted uranium is uranium that is "left over" after natural uranium is put through a process called enrichment to inprove the concentration of the isotope U-235 over that in natural uranium. The enriched uranium with its higher percentage of U-235 is fissionable, and it can be used in nuclear reactors and in nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used to make armor-piercing projectiles, and can be put through the neutron flux in an operating reactor to be transformed (transmuted) into plutonium.

Depleted uranium is chemically thee same as natural uranium but?
Has had most of the uranium-235 (an isotope of uranium)) separated out of it.
The depleted uranium load in a patient is measured by the uranium level in what?
The (depleted) uranium load in a patient is discovered by measuring the uranium concentration in urine or blood.For uranium in blood, feces, etc. see at : http://www.ccnr.org/du_hague.html, the chapter Medical testing for depleted uranium contamination.Frequently used analytical chemistry methods: fluorimetry or phosphorimetry in liquid phase.
Safe distance in meters from depleted uranium?
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not important; no very special precautions or a mandatory safe distance.
