Depleted uranium is described by the Senate Fact Sheet for SCM 1003 as,
DU, a low-level radioactive heavy metal, is a byproduct of the process used to enrich uranium.
The density of depleted uranium is such that it is an excellent material to produce ammunition to penetrate heavy armor plating and is used for such purpose. The web site Dark Government states, “In military applications, when alloyed, Depleted Uranium [DU] is ideal for use in armor penetrators.”
Some fear, however, that the deleted uranium may not be as low-level as previously believed. Dr. Doug Rokke (SEE VIDEO BELOW) contends that it is responsible for many health risks to our own troops during the Gulf Wars. Depleted uranium has been used extensively in the Navy; for example in the 20 mm CIWS Gatling gun system. He granted an extensive interview to Alex Jones on the subject last year. Dr. Rokke and his team, according to the interview, wrote the training manuals and instruction 700-48 (PDF) on the proper handling of the material.
Others dispute the claim that depleted uranium is harmful.
