U-238 |
| U-238 or denatured
uranium (D.U.) is nuclear waste from nuclear reactors. The U.S.military
is manufacturing it into shells and has used them in the Gulf War and
Bosnia.They call them tank busters, they are nuclear weapons, and their
use on any battlefield is a war crime. As a result U-238 is now detectable
in the upper atmosphere. It covers the planet. Birth defects and diseases
related to radiation poisoning are sky-rocketing in Iraq and Bosnia. Gulf
War Syndrome is being attributed to radiation poisoning by U.S. veterans.
U-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Stop the madness.

What this news article fails to mention is the 2000 medical study linking depleted uranium exposure with cancer in lab rats. Although there is some hyperbole in the article there are some interesting points.
