Yes.  Depleted uranium emits well over your AAC recommended daily
allowance of alpha particles.

Carry a chunk of the stuff in your undershorts for a while and tell me
about it.  Or just strap it to your arm.  Yes, it's not VERY

periods in close proximity to it.  Taking it internally is also
contraindicated for reasons of radiation and chemical poisoning.
