"When uranium decays to such a point that it no longer emits harmful traces of radiation, it is called "lead".

Dipshit." - Sethomas

So it's radiation you're worried about?

Depleted uranium is only slightly radioactive. As long as you don't ingest it, it's not harmful.

Your argument is reminiscent of other idiots here at I-Mockery and is simply untrue. Depleted uranium is about 40 % less radioactive than natural uranium. Depleted uranium emits two forms of radiation... alpha and beta. Alpha particles is the primary radiation produced by depleted uranium and guess what.......it's blocked by your skin....and if you don't have skin you have bigger problems to worry about. Beta particles are blocked by most clothing so if you are naked and you pick up a piece of depleted uranium you still have almost no chance of getting sick......now if you took it home and slept with it for a week you might get the same effect as if you lived next to some power lines. The amount of gamma radiation emitted by depleted uranium is very low. So, depleted uranium doesn't really do anymore damage than a tanning bed and certainly doesn't equate to uranium rods laying about.

Seth, I think your bowtie's a little tight.
