Talk:Enriched uranium

I'm making an artical stub for the United States Enrichment Corpoation ( USEC ) that will link here.

I am moving this topic to Isotope separation where I think it will make a bit more sence when one sees it in context. DV8 2XL 02:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

How can a material like "depleted" uranium, with same number of nucleons and all the same composition as U-238, of course still being U-238, suddenly become less radioactive whether or not U-235 has been extracted or enriched? This makes no sense because if the Uranium were to lose its unstable properties it would move down the decay chain to something else; what you have described is physically impossible. U-238 is U-238; probably you are following some pro-military mandate to claim uranium is something different than uranium. Don't be fooled into thinking depleted uranium is in any way depleted; because it's still uranium.
