-->Interessant ist auch, dass das Zeug u.a. sogar als Ballast in Flugzeugen verwendet wurde:

On October 4, 1992, a Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashed in the Bijlmer
suburb of Amsterdam. The aircraft was carrying 75 tons of kerosene and
more than 10 tons of various chemicals, including flammable liquids and
gases. The Boeing 747 was also carrying a ballast load consisting of up
to 1500 kg of depleted uranium contained in its tailcone in addition to DU
ballast in its tail rudder and the wings, according to Paul Loewenstein,
technical director and vice-president of the Nuclear Metals, Inc. the
supplier of DU to Boeing. It has been confirmed by Boeing that the first
550 Boeing 747 aircraft constructed use depleted uranium as ballast.
However, according to the Boeing, the aircraft that crashed in
Amsterdam was carrying less than 400 kg of DU, as some of the
standard DU ballast was replaced with tungsten.
