Uranium weapons, frequently called as 'depleted' uranium (DU) weapons, are manufactured from radioactive waste materials produced during the nuclear fuel chain and the production of nuclear weapons. They are the source to widespread and long lasting contamination of the environment. These weapon systems are both radio logically and chemically more toxic.
Many people - innocent civilians especially children, military soldiers, industry workers – have severe illnesses and medical problems, which may be due to their exposure to 'depleted' uranium. In areas such as southern Iraq, where uranium munitions were used by the US and the UK, there have been reports of increases in cancers, leukemia and birth defects like deformed babies.
This is really very hard to bare but still its very true that had happened , we cant recover the past still we can make a new future by banning the use of depleted uranium in war weapons. This should be taken as a serious issue and should bring to an end . No more things should be happened so, a strict law should be framed against the use of depleted uranium in war weapons.
