Humility. There are many skills I have that I am proud of. These include a current single engine pilot's license, the ability to ski, scuba and sail nearly any boat; I can also do oxy-acetylene welding, understand statistics and financial statements. Only the last two seem to garner respect from my peers and earn me money.
Consequently I am asked to look at data all the time.
A few years ago the subject of depleted uranium came up and I ignored it, assuming it was just one more lefty scam issue.
It came up this morning again so I had to look up the data.
This is the best reference I found for depleted uranium of the kind the military uses. Both Antenna and Wise, the creators of this site, are groups I respect.
Summary: Direct exposure, sitting next to DU ammunition inside a DU armored tank would expose one to a level of radiation that would not be measurable. The radiation would be a small percentage 1-5% of natural background radiation. Possibly, being inside a tank would reduce one's overall exposure to radiation because some background radiation would be blocked.
Interestingly, this can become a problem if Lefty Fundamentalism lasts more than the coming decade. DU becomes more dangerous after 10,000 years, still more dangerous after 100,000 years and a real problem after 2 million years. The chart on the right makes this point. Click to enlarge.
