There have been many false claims likening the use of DU to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - this link is to the history of the RERF which traces its roots to the Japanese medical teams and US scientists who began examining survivors in September 1945

Radiological and Chemical Fact Sheets - Argonne National Laboratory
Forty-three contaminant-specific sheets (29 radionuclides and 14 chemicals) address: key properties, origin, and use; general environmental levels; distribution in the body; primary health effects; and standard values for estimating risk. Six companion radiological fact sheets provide context for: ionizing radiation; radioactive properties; natural decay series (uranium, radium, thorium); transuranic series; radiological dispersal device; and health-based radionuclide concentrations in drinking water and air (the latter two focus on homeland security context). Two fact sheets address chemical mixtures, to frame cumulative risk assessments and the evaluation of interactions.
