What is it about?

Uranium weapons are not classified as nuclear weapons but as conventional weapons. Due to the high density of uranium, it has the capability of being able to be processed as an armor piercing projectile. Therefore, the toxic metal finds use in the military and the development of new weapon systems. Uranium munition produces a very fine dust that is radioactive and chemically toxic.
