OK, the claim is that it contains some U236, not that it's much

I singled out this incongruous quote from the Guardian article:
"Asked if he was warned about DU weapons - fired by British tanks as
well as American armour and aircraft during the Gulf war - Sir Peter
said: "I was not aware there were any specific dangers to it."
Of course not. DU weapons are perfectly safe. No danger at all.
One marvels at the mindset that comes up with a statement like
that, and thinks it sane.

Actually no one has a long term solution.
Well if we put too much of it on the moon that will start flying
away Well that would take alot but it is opposite what most
people think, that the moon would start falling in toward us.
Anyway, someone is working on it. I don't need a link or
anything, it is simply that this is something that can be
profitable so someone who wants profits is trying to do
something.
They already reuse it some and I guess it becomes DU ? There are
only so many people we want to shoot with that shit.
DU is supposed to be U238 with only a little U235, but yeah there
have been highly radioactive bullets found, so someone is selling
nucelar waste as ammo.
Oh really? With all the controls surrounding the handling of even
very slightly radioactive stuff, somebody would have noticed that
before it ended up in bullets, I should think. This sounds fake,
or at least distorted. Do you have a reference?
No. Some documentary on telly in the early 2000s claimed spent DU
rounds were more radioactive than they should have been.
The thing is spent fuel goes to reprocessing, and that's the same sort
of equipment as used for enrichment so it's conceivable that there
could be cross-contamination or deliberate malfeasance.
Not sure I believe this one:

Guardian seems to be on the ball though,
