Some people relish their ignorance.

In fact the evil filthy politicians count on it. They take it to the bank
and prosper. They use it to murder, rape and pillage our planet.

The usage of the word 'depleted' in the context it is used is intended to
convey that the properties of the elements that were exploited to
generate electrical energy have been used up. That does not mean
there are no remaining physical properties not subject to the known
laws of physics.

In fact, once certain elements are depleted in such a manner is
exactly why they become radioactive as they are no longer atomically
stable.

I took physics in college. I passed my courses. I cannot however argue
past this point and then turn to colleagues and knowledgeable experts.
Hopefully not as blindly as others may be afraid to admit is their habit.
