Re: [Way off topic] depleted uranium
i think they'd be used more as an environmental contaminant than
something intended to actually cause death... setting off a big one in a
city wouldnt kill THAT many people, but it'd keep them out of the
contaminated area until the radioactive material was cleaned up (or a
few millions years passes, whichever comes first).
in that respect, i think the result is a bit similar
