There is no radiation emission from depleted uranium. In fact depleted uranium is specifically used, among other applications, as one of the best shielding materials for gamma radiation, but there is no radioactive emission from that material fyi.
Fair enough. Context and detail matter. Measurable or reportable levels of radiation in DU ar negligent to near not existent. I should have worded it differently. All radioactive isotopes and materials have some radiation emissions depending on specific activity and decay rate and half life. Anyway yes how I worded my response is patently false. Either way point I was making is DU in a weapon would not be the result of radiation levels as described.

That is patently false.
