Uranium: H-Bombs made from Canada’s Depleted Uranium
Sep 29 1985, “Nuclear Fudge” on “W5”; 17m
Eighty percent of uranium exported from Canada is discarded as “depleted uranium” (DU). The US military uses this cast-off DU as target material in military reactors to make the plutonium used as a primary nuclear explosive in H-Bombs. How can this be reconciled with Canada’s pledge that its uranium be used only for peaceful purposes?
