While it wouldn't be especially lethal, the over-reaction would be extreme, and the kvetching would be off the scale.
depleted uraniums are safe because they were already depleted. -

because that shit is light enough to carry around any significant quantities... -
2018-10-14 at 5:38 PM UTCAbout 95% of the depleted uranium produced until now is stored as uranium hexafluoride, (D)UF6, in steel cylinders in open air yards close to enrichment plants. Each cylinder contains up to 12.7 tonnes (or 14 US tons) of UF6. In the U.S. alone, 560,000 tonnes of depleted UF6 had accumulated by 1993. In 2005, 686,500 tonnes in 57,122 storage cylinders were located near Portsmouth, Ohio, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Paducah, Kentucky.[163][164] The long-term storage of DUF6 presents environmental, health, and safety risks because of its chemical instability. When UF6 is exposed to moist air, it reacts with the water in the air and produces UO2F2 (uranyl fluoride) and HF (hydrogen fluoride), both of which are highly soluble and toxic. Storage cylinders must be regularly inspected for signs of corrosion and leaks. The estimated lifetime of the steel cylinders is measured in decades.[165]
There have been several accidents involving uranium hexafluoride in the United States.[166] The vulnerability of DUF6 storage cylinders to terrorist attack is apparently not the subject of public reports. However, the U.S. government has been converting DUF6 to solid uranium oxides for disposal.[167] Disposing of the whole DUF6 inventory could cost anywhere from 15 to 450 million dollars.[168] -

there are levels of emasculation.
you can stfu now. im not telling you anything about enriched...depleted...or any of the other infinite variety of radioactive waste types...other than you know exactly jack, and shit, about the topic.
this is the part where you scurry out from under your rock and find a nice juicy dog turd to knaw on to keep you from continuing to make ridiculous statements.
youre an idiot -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny so your saying that DU isnt as radioactive as spent fuel rods because it has undergone a process of depletion,
yes.
youre an idiot
DU is the 'crap' left over from processing the uranium in the first place. it was never made into fissile material
spent fuel rods are mostly uranium that was processed to make it into fissile material. the part that isnt 'mostly' is the shit that is pretty much at the top of the totem pole of toxic-shits that human technology is capable of producing. -

youre an idiot.
so why did you compare DUs with spent fuel rods in the beginning ? -

2018-10-14 at 8:37 PM UTCa lot of people don't realize how much oil is in Southern California. they still have Taft,Ca and closer to LA, homes hide oil-drillers near long beach area.
but there is a massive pool off the coast of California that the blue team environmentalist won't let us tap into. unlike the gulf.. if a BP incident were to happen, it would be extremely difficult to go to those depths to cork up.
but it's massive from what I understand. Your solar panels require oil to make the plastic materials (the panels aren't glass)
the windmills require petroleum products in the process as well.
there is no escape from Petroleum -
2018-10-14 at 8:39 PM UTCHas Elon Musk (as brilliant as he is) figured out where the fuck all of those batteries are going to end up when they can no longer carry a charge. I understand they're not one large battery (as I thought) but thousands of button batteries linked together, like unraveling a AA battery. button batteries.
