" 1943 MANHATTAN PROJECT BLUEPRINT FOR DEPLETED URANIUM
In a declassified memo to General Leslie R. Groves, dated October 30, 1943, three of the top physicists in the Manhattan Project, Dr James B Conant, A H Compton, and H C Urey, made their recommendation, as members of the Subcommittee of the S-1 Executive Committee, on the ‘Use of Radioactive Materials as a Military Weapon’: "As a gas warfare instrument the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and distributed by a ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small … There are no known methods of treatment for such a casualty … it will permeate a standard gas mask filter in quantities large enough to be extremely damaging."
As a Terrain Contaminant: "To be used in this manner, the radioactive materials would be spread on the ground either from the air or from the ground if in enemy controlled territory. In order to deny terrain to either side except at the expense of exposing personnel to harmful radiations … Areas so contaminated by radioactive material would be dangerous until the slow natural decay of the material took place … for average terrain no decontaminating methods are known. No effective protective clothing for personnel seems possible of development. … Reservoirs or wells would be contaminated or food poisoned with an effect similar to that resulting from inhalation of dust or smoke."
Internal Exposure: "… Particles smaller than 1µ [micron] are more likely to be deposited in the alveoli where they will either remain indefinitely or be absorbed into the lymphatics or blood. … could get into the gastro-intestinal tract from polluted water, or food, or air. … may be absorbed from the lungs or G-I tract into the blood and so distributed throughout the body."
Both the fission products and depleted uranium waste from the Atomic Bomb Project were to be utilised under this plan. The pyrophoric nature of depleted uranium, which causes it to begin to burn at very low temperatures from friction in the gun barrel, made it an ideal radioactive gas weapon then and now. Also it was more available because the amount of depleted uranium produced was much greater than the amount of fission products produced in 1943.
The fact is that the United States and its military partners have staged four nuclear wars, "slipping nukes under the wire" by using dirty bombs and dirty weapons in countries the US needs to control. Depleted uranium aerosols will permanently contaminate vast regions and slowly destroy the genetic future of populations living in those regions, where there are resources which the US must control, in order to establish and maintain American primacy.
Described as the Trojan Horse of nuclear war, depleted uranium is the weapon that keeps killing. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, the age of the earth. And, as Uranium-238 decays into daughter radioactive products, in four steps before turning into lead, it continues to release more radiation at each step. There is no way to turn it off, and there is no way to clean it up. It meets the US Government’s own definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
After forming microscopic and submicroscopic insoluble Uranium oxide particles on the battlefield, they remain suspended in air and travel around the earth as a radioactive component of atmospheric dust, contaminating the environment, indiscriminately killing, maiming and causing disease in all living things where rain, snow and moisture remove it from the atmosphere. Global radioactive contamination from atmospheric testing was the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs, and still contaminates the atmosphere and lower orbital space today. The amount of low level radioactive pollution from depleted uranium released since 1991, is many times more (deposited internally in the body), than was released from atmospheric testing fallout."

Ahh, you're one of
those people. I thought the depleted uranium conspiracy theories were old hat by now?
Do you realize who wrote that article? Besides the fact that I would love to see some statistical evidence about microscopic uranium oxide from the "battlefield" indiscriminately killing people around the world, it's written by a complete conspiratorial loon that describes herself as an "independent scientist" because no one else wants to be associated with her. She claims to have been a staff scientist at nuclear weapon labs, because she knows the easily mislead will take it at face value and believe she has some type of nuclear credentials. In actuality, she worked at these locations during her graduate studies in
geology, and was never even considered a lab employee during her stay at those places.
She (Leuren Moret) believes diabetes (diabetus) is caused by the fallout from nuclear testing in the 50s and 60s.
She believes the Queen of England owns most of the uranium mines in the world (I kid you not), and that the Rockefellers are the second largest owners of uranium mines. She believes global warming is a hoax (you can imagine the reasons why). She's a
9/11 truther, believes the Japan earthquake was a case of "tectonic nuclear warfare," carried out using HAARP by the CIA, British Petroleum, and a number of other groups on behalf of London banks, and believes a US space shuttle launch was covertly intended to place chemtrails in space needed for HAARP.
She is a pseudoscientist masquerading as a whistleblowing avenger of justice. When quoting a source, merely quoting it isn't what's important; it's the reliability of the information contained within that source. If you want to be taken seriously, I would advise you to not associate yourself with anything written by her.
Here is a taste of her crazy, if anyone feels like listening to it:
