And then there is Depleted Uranium (DU), a major export article, used in those (in)famous A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthogs". Buried in the ground they only intoxicate is slowly for the next 10000 or so years, while the bullets hitting steel explode into a fine mist, which once getting into the lungs is sure to cause cancer and all kinds of health diseases.

I got a chuckle out of this.
When that DU round hits a tank, the dust created is the last thing on the crews mind...if they're still alive. Besides I think we switched to Tungsten instead of DU, less health hazards for the ammo handlers.

Boy did I have a Homer Simpson moment.
I completely forgot about the Megatons to Megawatts program we have with Russia. And the large reserve in Canada. So I stand corrected on what you quoted me.
