And back on the topic of depleted uranium. The toxicity is in no way related to its radioactivity, rather the fact that it is just a heavy metal ala lead.
And that's why we have to bury it dozens of miles under the ground? 
I have a mixed opinion on nuclear power. On the one hand i think modern plants are pretty safe and environment friendly even compared to renewable energy sources. On the other hand i still think its a bad idea to have them in densly crowded countrys. In US or Russia if something happens its a big catastrophe but not the end of the nation. In a land like germany with 82 million people in a territory smaller as california an accident would be devastating. Not only for the country itself also to its densly crowded neighbours and the world economy.
The german government spent a lot of money on wind energy but that was completely bullshit imo. There is virtualy no place in the whole country where you can't see at least one of these ugly wind reactors. It not only harms a nice view but also the nature to a degree that is not acceptable. Scientists should find better solutions for renewable energy.
