"A description of #depletedUranium (DU) from #IraqVeteransAgainstTheWar, a group later renamed “#About Face:#VeteransAgainstTheWar!”:
“DU is a #toxic, #radioactive #heavyMetal that is the waste byproduct of the #uranium enrichment process when producing #nuclearWeapons and uranium for #nuclearReactors. Because [it's] is plentiful and 1.7 times more dense than #lead, the #US govt uses DU in #weapons, extremely effective at piercing #armoredVehicles."
