What is the Uranium-235 content of depleted uranium du?
Typically under 0.3%
The depleted uranium DU load in a patient is measured by the uranium level in what?
The uranium is determined in urine or blood.
The Depleted Uranium (DU) load in a patient is measured by the uranium level in what?
The uranium is determined in urine or blood.
The primary health threat of depleted uranium or DU is from its toxicity as what?
Depleted uranium is mildly radioactive, but poses a considerable health threat as a heavy metal poison or toxin.
What is the U-235 content of depleted uranium (DU)?
Depleted uranium is uranium with a content of the isotope uranium-235 under 0.7 %. Natural uranium has been processed to change (increase) the concentrations of lighter isotopes, and the "leftovers" are termed depleted uranium. Let's look at this heavy metal and sort things out. Without splitting hairs, the element uranium as it comes out of the ground is almost 99.27% U-238, and about 0.73% U-235. There's also a trace of U-234 in it. The isotope U-235 is the desired one for use in nuclear fuels and in nuclear weapons. Uranium is processed or "enriched" to increase the amount of the lighter isotope in the the finished product. This leaves the rest of the uranium "depleted" of some (or much) of its U-235 (and U-234, for what it's worth). The term depleted uranium is then applied to the remaining uranium.

What gene is depleted uranium on?
Any gene; depleted uranium is uranium containing more than 99,8 % of the isotope uranium 238.
The primary health threat of depleted uranium DU is from its toxicity as a?
The primary health threat of depleted uranium (DU) is its potential toxic effects when absorbed into the body. DU can cause kidney damage, lung cancer, and harm to the reproductive system. It is considered hazardous mainly due to its radioactivity and chemical toxicity.
Minimum safe distance from depleted uranium hazard?
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not significative.
Is depleted uranium man made?
Depleted uranium is man made but the isotope 238U is natural.
When was Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime created?
Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime was created in 2006.
Is depleted uranium 40 percent more radioactive than natural uranium?
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural uranium.
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?
