DEPLETED URANIUM

Virtual Truth Commission

What is depleted Uranium?

Times and Places of Use

Uranium Development on Indian Land. A majority of uranium produced on Indian land between 1950 and 1968 went to one source: the Atomic Energy Commission of the United States. The supply was found in the Grants Mineral Belt of the Southwest, in the midst of Navajo and Pueblo lands. Because the government was the sole purchaser of uranium mined during the early years—and because the government neglected to regulate the health and safety of miners—a large percentage of Navajo, Laguna and Acoma miners have developed cancer and other related illnesses.
Metal of Dishonor, a book about depleted uranium. In addition to exposing the deadly duplicity of the Department of Defense, the book documents the genocide of Native Americans and Iraqis by military radiation, the connection between depleted uranium and Gulf War Syndrome, the underestimated dangers from low-level radiation, the legal ramifications of DU Production and Use, and the growing movement against DU.
