The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not important; no very special precautions or a mandatory safe distance.

Minimum safe distance from depleted uranium?

Depleted uranium is not so dangerous in metallic form. The external irradiation is minimal - because the alpha radiation is retained by some centimeters of air. The gamma radiation has a small energy (max. 185 keV) and a simple shield is sufficient. Of course, for detailed data measurements of dose are necessary.

Why you use lead chamber in radioactivity?

Anything works to stop radiation but lead is effective, safe and easy to handle, and relatively inexpensive. Seriously, check cost of lead vs depleted uranium.

What is the safe distance to set between mooring buoys for boats of 15 meters length?

A safe distance between mooring buoys for boats of 15 meters in length would typically be around 15-20 meters. This distance allows for enough space for boats to swing with changing winds and currents without risking collisions with neighboring boats or buoys. It's important to also consider the specific conditions of the mooring area when determining the appropriate distance.
