The important characteristic of uranium for this scope is its great density -
19,1 g/cm3. Also some steels alloyed with uranium are harder.
For normal light-water recators, first to a refinement plant. For producing depleted uranium porducts, such as shells for tanks, to a production plant.
Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime was created in 2006.
Has had most of the uranium-235 (an isotope of uranium)) separated out of it.

Depleted Uranium

Any gene; depleted uranium is uranium containing more than 99,8 % of the isotope uranium 238.
it used to, but doesn't anymore
The external irradiation from depleted uranium is not significative.
Depleted uranium is man made but the isotope 238U is natural.
Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime was created in 2006.
Casings for shells, to make them heavier and more penetrating
Uranium has 92 electrons, which means it has 7 electron shells.
Depleted uranium is approx. 60% less radioactive than an equivalent mass of natural 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?
Against uranium powders or liquid aerosols you need a mask with filter for powders. Bulk depleted uranium is practically not dangerous.
