Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "Depleted uranium is akin to lead in its lethality ..."

Do you have any references to this? Depleted uranium is radioactive enough to be classified as "high level radioactive waste" in the United States and Europe. (But note that the US explicitly defines "high level radioactive waste" to exclude DU.) DU leaks huge amounts of both beta and alpha radiation.
