Depleted Uranium 10
Depleted Uranium 10 :
Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Disasters. Uranium with a percentage of uranium-235 lower than the 0.7 percent (by mass) contained in natural uranium. (The normal residual U-235 content in depleted uranium is 0.2-0.3 percent, with U-238 comprising the remaining 98.7-98.8 percent.) Depleted uranium is produced during uranium isotope separation and is typically found in spent fuel elements or byproduct tailings or residues. Depleted uranium can be blended with highly-enriched uranium, such as that from weapons, to make reactor fuel.
