text: In addition, depleted uranium (DU) has been used for counterweights in sail boat's keel, ballast in boats, pigments and radiation shielding.
text: Depleted uranium (DU) is useful because of its very high density of 19.1 g/cm3 (68.4% denser than lead).
text: Depleted uranium (DU) is the material left after most of the highly radioactive form of uranium (U-235) is removed from the natural uranium ore.
text: U-235 is used in reactors and atomic weapons; once it is extracted, the rest is depleted uranium (DU).

text: The 238U remaining after enrichment is known as depleted uranium (DU), and is considerably less radioactive than even natural uranium, though still very dense and extremely hazardous in granulated form – such granules are a natural by-product of the shearing action that makes it useful for armor-penetrating weapons and radiation shielding.
text: First deployed on a large scale during the Gulf War, the U.S. military uses depleted uranium (DU) for tank armor and some bullets due to its high density, helping it to penetrate enemy armored vehicles.
text: Following enrichment two streams of UF 6 are formed: the enriched ‘product’ containing a higher concentration of U-235 which will be used to make nuclear fuel, and the ‘tails’ containing a lower concentration of U-235, and known as depleted uranium (DU).

text: It is believed by many that exposure to depleted uranium (DU), especially when a person inhales or ingests it as a particulate, causes severe and long-term health effects.
text: The by-product of this enrichment contains less U-235, and so is known as depleted uranium (DU).
