Have those Yuks never heard the old saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket?
Media hysteria. Depleted uranium is just that - depleted.
Bullshitte.
The DEPLETED Uranium inside anti-tank shells is less radioactive than most common rocks.
Blowing even several thousand anti-tank shells (which do not even have a high-explosive warhead, merely a propellant charge) is NOT going to create ANY gamma ray radiation background change.
We were told those shells were not dangerous as far as radioactivity goes.
Someone has been lying.
Depleted is mostly U-238 which is still radioactive but the greatest danger is toxicity. It can also contain a small amount of U-235 which is fissionable and very radioactive.
total bullshit ... depleted uranium emits almost no gamma rays ...
And yet, there are dumbasses, some right here on FR, who vehemently support these hostilities continuing indefinitely, becoming angry when people recommend a negotiated peace settlement.
The problem with depleted uranium is that it is an alpha emitter. Alpha particles have a very short range but when ingested cause maximum cell damage.
What a pile of crap. Those shell are less radioactive than the sand in your kids sandbox.
Look it up, and stop making s^^t up.
It appears to be a petroleum fire (black heavy smoke) and not high explosive. Only two civilians were reported killed, and the ‘elevated radiation’ thing seems to be seeded by a few youtoob posters citing unnamed stuff they ‘heard’. And GP picked it up because it generates clicks and clucking.
Well, Ukrainians can look on the bright side, now they won't need electricity, they'll glow in the dark!
So Russia destroyed radioactive weapons shipped to the Ukraine by NATO?
Sounds a bit like the time that the Germans destroyed poison gas supplies shipped by the US to Italy during World War II before the US could use them.
· Intel Slava Z making claims of what non-Russian entities have confirmed without sourcing any claims.
· No actual British confirmation by any named British source for themselves.
· Graph used is not produced or copyrighted by the European Commission (and misrepresents the actual data, I'll get to that).
Let's go to the European Commission Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring web page, then go to the advanced map to look at the trend for station UA33429 in Khmelnytskyi (Хмельни́цький).
The spike in Nanosieverts per hour (nSv/h) happened on March 11, linear or logarithmic scale, and dropped on the morning of March 13, the day of the attack, and rose again. The rise before the attack could not have been caused by the attack. Because natural variation in background radiation is natural variation. Comparing Gateway's graph to the EC site data, Gateway's graph does not match the highs and lows on the EC data. Gateway's graph doesn't show that, because Gateway copied it off Twitter and Telegram, where it was made up.
The UK announced delivering DU rounds to Ukraine. Khmelnytskyi had a large explosion, when Khmelnytskyi was already having a spike in background gamma radiation. The Russian online troll response, make up data to show the radiation spike occurred after the strike, attribute it to a real world source, say the explosion and radiation spike must be connect to the delivery of DU rounds, treating speculation as proof.
Start it out on Telegram, spread it to Twitter. Let a gullible audience in the west spread and accept it at face value. Next.
They were fine with using that ammo on Russians though.
Just wait until the ground freezes!

GIBS-ME-DAT……..RADIOACTIVITY.
Oh noooeeee…. I meant RADIO.
Pretty dramatic video here.

Something blowed up real good.
Is Bruce Banner in the area?
I guess they will need a few billion more $$$
