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

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.

No, it is not safe to touch uranium as it is a radioactive material that can be harmful to human health.
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.
This is a simple precaution; uranium is toxic and radioactive.
There is no 'safe' distance.
no, don't use it, it depleted the remaining balance on my phone and I didn't even get the ringtone.
