Interesting that no one's talking about that pile of Saddam's

Yeah via D{e@o G@r(}a , that place that should not be mentioned.
A pile of ore is not a weapon. It is not a gathering threat.

Really? What about the illness it caused in Iraq?

Ten thousand Gulf war vets dead. DU played a big role.

The yellow cake is far worse so you had better get that HAZMAT suit on.

Yawn. Aren't you tired of fear-mongering yet? Yellow cake may be worse
but it is far more difficult to get let alone process. Go Team Fear!

Thanks for making my point on what is more dangerous.

It was easy to get. It was sitting in barrels or was dumped on the
ground.

Go team retard.

I'm sure that team retard welcomes your membership!

A few questions for you:
How do you know it was easy to get? Were you there to watch the
shipments come in? How much was there? Did it take days, weeks, months
or years for it to come in?

If you had 25 000 tons of yellowcake, you could isolate about 50 tons of
uranium metal. Uranium metal is 99.3% U-238 and U-235. From 50 tons you
could isolate 0.35 tons of U-235 (this equals 700 lbs). For a gun-type
fission weapon ("Little Boy" was a gun-type weapon), you need 110 lbs of
U-235. All of this assumes that you have 100% extraction efficiency.
But wait! You need to have extremely sophisticated facilities to
separate out U-235 from the other isotopes! So where were these
facilities to isolate the U-235???

Lay off the assumptions - it'll make you less of an idiot!
