  • FACTSHEET: From DUF6 to DU metal By Lizzy Bloem

    Depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) is the toxic and radioactive by-product of the enrichment process. In conversion or processing plants DUF6 is converted to DUF4, and subsequently to depleted uranium metal. This metal is used in uranium weapons.

  • Let's Get The Story Straight 12 April 2004

    Once again, I find myself cringing at an op-ed piece about depleted uranium written by a well-meaning but misinformed activist. Don't get me wrong. I'm more than pleased to see another article presenting the hazards and problems associated with DU brought before the public. We can't get enough publicity, to be sure. Minor misstatements here and there probably don't hurt our cause too much, but over time they could undermine our credibility. We don't need to provide our opponents with ammunition.
