Recently I received a DVD on depleted uranium weapon's being tested in Australia. A very well documented DVD on the facts.

Any body want a copy I can copy and send to you free. Of course any donations would be greately appreciated as there are copy costs, blank disks and time etc. There is no copy right on the DVD. The producers just want it spread. If you get a copy and want to copy it for your friends and family etc feel free to do so.

if nuclear power is the answer, then they are asking the wrong question.

Hi Hans, I don't get the intent of your posting.

The original posting is for a free DVD regarding Depleted Uranium Weapons.

G'day Trev,
are you talking about depleted uranium ammunition, that is used in conventional small arms and heavy machine guns? Or something totally different?

No problem Dwyer, have returned an email to you.

Highlander, yes Depleted Uranium is used on the tips of missiles to penetrate heavy armour. It is the toxic waste being spread all over the place.

A DVD worth seeing.

Hey Trev, thanks for clearing that up. You confused me when you said weapons, rather than ammunition.
Click on this for more info, it appears it's in use in civillian sectors as well, (aircraft,sailboats etc). Apparently it's not dangerous unless ingested or internally inserted as shrapnel.
I'm not sure if our military are using it now but I know we never had it when I was serving.
