Not provided are details that say whether U-238 is a problem or just another expensive metal. For example, high purity U-238 is even added to some materials as a radiation filter. U-235 content, purity, and other numbers are critical to understand the value (or threat) of that material. Numbers that were not provided.

More relevant is how they obtained this material. Who is marketing this stuff? And what else to they have access to?

That was, I believe, my point.:mad2:

Well, they aren't. They are different pages.

And that, I believe was my point.

If you had one, that is. U-238 is DU. It sure as hell wouldn't be DU were it U-235.

It's like this: a cast iron skillet is iron, yes? You would look at a cast-iron skillet and say, "Oh, this is iron."

But iron is not a cast iron skillet. You would not look at a block of iron and say, "Oh, this is a cast iron skillet."

Similarly, DU is U-238. But U-238 is not DU.

Since you cannot have DU without U-238, your point if any continues obscure. AFAIK, the scamsters were offering several kilos of uranium metal. Now then, were the victims of the scam in the market for elevator counterweights, or fissionables?

And you cannot have a cast iron skillet without iron.

And so we come back to where we should have been all along, UT: depleted uranium is U-238, as much as refiners can conveniently make it.

Perhaps someone wanted to build a Space Modulator?

UT, if you know what point you are making, perhaps you might actually make it? If you're trying to bait, it is unbecoming, and you know how smart I think people are who persist in the unbecoming, don't you?

I don't need the last word so long as I may have the best.
