Depleted uranium (DU) is a dense, heavy metal that is used in tank armor and armor-piercing rounds because of its ability to penetrate through other types of armor. When a DU round strikes a tank, the kinetic energy of the round causes it to deform and create a dust-like substance which is extremely fine and can be easily inhaled by people. When the depleted uranium penetrates the tank, it can ignite the air inside the tank, causing a fire or explosion. This can result in the destruction of the tank and the injury or death of the crew inside. However, the use of depleted uranium in weapons has been controversial due to its potential health and environmental risks.
Uranium and depleted uranium have a number of properties that make them useful for certain applications. One of the most notable properties is their high density, which makes them useful for armor-piercing rounds and tank armor. They are also radioactive, which makes them useful for generating nuclear energy and potentially for medical imaging and treatment.
Another interesting property of Uranium is its ability to undergo fission, which is the process of splitting a nucleus into smaller atoms. This property is used in nuclear reactors to generate electricity, and in nuclear weapons to release a large amount of energy.
Depleted uranium has a similar property to Uranium, but it is less radioactive and has a different atomic structure. It is still dense and can be used in similar applications as Uranium.
Furthermore, Depleted Uranium (DU) has been researched as a potential material in radiation shielding applications due to its high density and ability to absorb high-energy radiation. It has been also proposed as a heavy-duty counterweight for aircraft, spacecraft, and satellites.
Another possible application of DU is in radiation shielding for space travel, as DU's high density makes it effective at absorbing radiation from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events, which can be dangerous to astronauts.

I once saw a dude riding a Harley-Davidson wearing a short sleeved oxford shirt with a pocket protector. Yea, this nerd even had wing-tipped shoes on. I thought-"What an oxiMORON!". It gave me reason to never buy a Harley Davidson because it was obvious to me 'everyone' was buying them. I've always chosen the less traveled trail.....
Putin has stated clearly that when (if!) tanks ever arrive on the UkroNazi battlefield, the Russian Federation will consider the use of depleted uranium the same as a dirty bomb and will respond accordingly.
I remember reading some time ago that an unknown number of British solders serving in Iraq developed some strange and disturbing symptoms, thought to be related to depleted uranium. I've no idea how this panned out - brushed under the carpet by the duplicitous MoD and Government I imagine.
Yeah, also the DUKE we sat next to every day for 16hrs a day.
These CREW systems include the Duke and CREW Vehicle Receiver/Jammer. They are installed on a wide variety of combat and tactical vehicles. Portable versions of these systems are also carried by dismounted soldiers. They all have in common the generation and transmission of radio frequency radiation (RFR).
What are the long term effects of RF exposure?
The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.

Completely unrelated.
Granite is radioactive, if no one knew.
From countertops to megalithic structures.
Too bad the Fantastic-4 didn't have this.
To be fair, I'm not a comic book nerd. I'm more of the pocket protector type.
I talk to my wife and she goes, "I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!" and relates it to comics or other pop culture.

IIRC both Iraq and Serbia have areas which are contaminated with DU and there are associated cancer cases and birth defects.
It should be a war crime to use DU.

Many people attribute Gulf War Syndrome to being exposed to airborne depleted Uranium.

'Burn Pits' they say. I always knew, but they can call it whatever they want.
