50mm remarked a few days ago, he was hesitant to handle DU rounds, for fear of rad count.

I pointed out on that thread, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still both going concerns, in spite of having been nuked into the stone age.

My point was, perhaps some fears are exagerated.

Radiation’s a “weapon of mass panic”. Just walk away - preferably NOT downwind...

I'm pretty sure I read that Queen Elizabeth handled a piece of plutonium, to feel the warmth the metal generated on "its own".

She's still living, and that probably occurred over 50 years ago.
