Ukrainian sources write about dosimetric patrols in Khmelnitsky in connection with the possible presence of shells with depleted uranium in the affected warehouse

There were reports that after the most powerful explosions near Khmelnitsky, which thundered as a result of an attack by the RF Armed Forces at the end of last week, RKhBZ patrols began to work in the region. This is due to the fact that in the warehouses in the Khmelnitsky region there could be a British cargo, which included tons of ammunition with depleted uranium (DEU). Recall that earlier London approved such supplies for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ukrainian sources began to write about the fact that Storm Shadow missiles, missiles for anti-aircraft systems, as well as the aforementioned depleted uranium shells were delivered to the military warehouse, under which the warehouses of one of the local enterprises were converted, were supplied.

It is reported that dosimetric (radiation) patrols measure the radiation background "in uncharacteristic places." If earlier the main measurements were carried out in Netishyn and its environs - the area where the Khmelnytsky NPP is located, now multiple sampling was carried out in the regional center, in the west of the region, as well as in the Ternopil region. This is due to the fact that after arriving at the military warehouse, the wind was blowing in a westerly direction.

The Ukrainian authorities do not report on the work of dosimetric groups in official reports.

Recall that earlier, after the strike of the Russian Armed Forces on a military warehouse in Dnepropetrovsk Pavlograd, there were also suggestions that ammunition with depleted uranium could be at the facility. The Ukrainian side did not comment on this information, for obvious reasons.

Comments

[coinsam]

If the news about the destruction of stockpiles of depleted uranium shells is confirmed, then this will be considered a very serious success! If the Challengers with Bradley and Cougars were blown up in the same way, it would be absolutely wonderful!

[hellcos]

in this case, it is even possible that the Ukrainians will refuse further supplies of shells with depleted uranium, because they themselves have raked and may repeat. Don't dig a hole for others

[Smoked]

No, the logic of war is already working, which means that peacetime problems can be solved later, someday.

[GUSAR]

No Ukrainians will refuse anything, they have no powers.

[fruc]

Depleted uranium projectiles in storage pose no danger. But after application, the ammunition interacts with metals, which leads to the formation of radioactive dust. The dust itself is dangerous. I do not think that after the detonation in the warehouse it led to the formation of this very dust. And the scattered warheads of the shells can be collected over time.

[ProkletyiPirat]

Quote: frruc

The dust itself is dangerous.

important clarification:
1) voiced dust practically does not emit radiation
2) it is not the dust itself that is dangerous, and not its radiation, but its compounds with organic molecules, which is why
2.1) they quickly spread throughout the body - because the pathologies are inoperable, there are many of them, they are small, and therefore they cannot be cut out.
2.2) they are easily transmitted through organic matter - for example, through food, for example, in one documentary there was a mention of apples that grew on the territory of battles, where apples were delivered to other cities, then those who ate had pathologies (especially generic ones), as a result they tracked, proved, cut down garden and cut off a layer of earth.

Quote from monetam

If the news about the destruction of stockpiles of depleted uranium shells is confirmed, then this will be considered a very serious success!

Bandera member Igor Moseychuk is sounding the alarm, he says that shells with depleted uranium for British tanks could be stored in the warehouses of the destroyed Russian Aerospace Forces in Khmelnitsky and Ternopil. He advises to take the children away from the epicenters of the explosions.
Depleted uranium becomes toxic and deadly when it explodes into dust. Getting into the body, uranium dust causes terrible diseases that affect especially the blood and kidneys, but not only them.
It turns out that if this is true, then the Bandera people planned to poison the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine, but the poison fell on their own fellow countrymen ... terrible news.
The Anglo-Saxons seemed to say that it was not dangerous? Lied? This is what you have to be to bring this crap to yourself? History teaches nothing?

Depleted uranium is not particularly fonite, apparently, it is determined by the characteristic three peaks of bismuth-214 on the spectrum, and most likely by scintillators. It is important to determine the centers of its concentration, in theory. Otherwise, DU is dangerous not as a radioactive material, but as a toxic metal, that is, you will die from poisoning much faster than you catch the consequences of radioactive exposure)

[km-21]

The real danger from the radioactivity of depleted uranium arises after the collision of the projectile with the armor. In this case, part of the projectile is crushed into dust, and each speck of dust becomes a long-lasting source of alpha radiation. If it enters the respiratory system, it will remain there forever with very sad consequences.

[Johnson Smithson]

So from the explosion of a warehouse, uranium turns into the same radioactive dust.
There was not burning with gradual expansion, but a colossal explosion, everything that was stored there turned into dust.

[Sumotori_380]

Tanks, for example, do not turn into dust when the ammunition is detonated? So why should scrap metal turn into dust?

[TIR]

You're right. The dust will be toxic and will affect your health if you permanently live in this area.

[Slon1978]

The fact is that depleted uranium contamination, which is a health hazard from alpha particle radiation, cannot be measured with a conventional gamma radiation dosimeter. Therefore, the sensors for measuring the radiation situation in Khmelnytsky, "showing within the normal range," will not help here, they measure the gamma background. In Khmelnytsky, soil samples must be taken, and that ... this is .... It should be lucky that a particle of depleted uranium gets into the sample, since the dust will settle for a long time and the pollution will be uneven. If these shells were in the warehouse, then for Khmelnitsky and its environs this is definitely bad news. It is clear that now they will say "everything is in order, there is no pollution" in order to reassure the population. Otherwise it can not be.

[km-21]

There should be no uranium dust during the detonation of the ammunition depot. The shells will not disperse, as when they meet with armor, but will simply scatter around.

[Peter1First]

As far as I understand, shells with depleted uranium do not explode on their own, there’s just nothing - it’s a uranium crowbar without explosives, and they seem to be separately loaded, i.e. he doesn't even have a shell of gunpowder. Of course, with such a detonation, part of the uranium rods could have burned out with the release of uranium dioxide, but it seems that the bulk simply scattered around the district in the form of burnt scrap metal. So the dosimetrists are busy looking for this shit, until it starts to oxidize and seep into the ground. The background near such "finds" is several times higher than natural, so there is hope to collect most of the rods.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: tralflot1832

On the Internet they say that there is a surge of radiation, with links specifically to ukrosites:

Already written above. Depleted uranium is practically non-radioactive. Therefore, running around with dosimeters and measuring radiation is pointless. Uranium is dangerous as a chemical. They would also measure the concentration of vx after application with dosimeters.

[Murmur 55]

dmi.pris 1, yes, this is Colossal!!!! And I want to note NOBODY doubted that they blew up something specific, opinions differed on what exactly took off into the air.

[Storog dvornik]

A characteristic mushroom and the scale of the explosion against the backdrop of city buildings ... It is very similar to a demonstration of the use of tactical nuclear weapons, given the daytime ... About shells with DU - "fog of war" whoever needs to understand + background radiation is present ...
Regarding the radiation background: in modern nuclear weapons, almost the entire charge falls precisely on the explosion, the subsequent radiation is small and "weathers" depending on the charge in a matter of hours / days ... You can compare the dimensions of products of a certain power of the 50s and the latter with the available characteristics of the late 80s ...
By the way ... Over the past 30 years, at least 5 times nuclear weapons mini-charges were used and disguised as terrorist attacks with a classic explosive (according to rumors) ...

It is "according to rumors" that tactical nuclear charges less than 1-2 kt do not exist. Under what are you going to mask the explosion of such a charge?

[Storog dvornik]

It’s like, at the disposal of some organs not only exist, but also infrequently bang charges around the world 0.25: 0.5 kilotons (they say) ... It is not masked, there are no traces of radiation noise after 3-5 hours ... They mask the remnants of pollution by local emergencies , mopping up services on the ground ... No traces ...

[ratoborets]

dosimetric patrols in Khmelnitsky in connection with the possible presence of shells with depleted uranium in the affected warehouse

Oh, what is it ... the British said that shells with depleted uranium are absolutely safe for the environment? (sarcasm)

The leadership of the Kyiv regime is at war with Russia to the last Ukrainian, carrying out a task from curators from Washington. They absolutely do not care what will be people, land, ecology. They are provided with a comfortable future somewhere in the USA, Canada, Britain or Israel.

If the information about the destruction of shells with depleted uranium is confirmed, then for someone who lives in that area, this may be a wake-up call that for the impudent Saxons they are only expendable material and they do not care what will happen to the earth (it’s not for them to live on contaminated land later ).

[DMFalke]

The British don't lie, they lie more precisely - do not agree. As long as the shells lie in the warehouse and even explode along with the warehouse, they are relatively safe. (depends on the explosion, of course, otherwise see below.)

But as soon as when meeting with armor (or with a strong explosion), part of the uranium turns into dust - here the furry animal is full. Because dust settles and then enters the body with water, air and food, where even minimal radiation that does not penetrate the skin seriously undermines health from the inside.

[terms]

Uranium 238 is inactive) It is rather dangerous in terms of toxicity, like many other heavy metals, that is, if a certain amount of uranium 238 destroys the body with radioactivity, relatively speaking, years, then it can kill the nervous system due to toxic effects in a matter of days) In short, uranium 238 is more of a chemical weapon than a radiological one))

[Peter1First]

Uranium is "unfamiliar" to the human body - therefore, it accumulates and is not excreted, slowly poisoning the body - its high concentration was found in the bodies of people who were infected, but its carcinogenic effect is still associated with radioactive alpha decay - from time to time one of the atoms explodes with the release of a helium nucleus and gamma quanta, which is much more dangerous in terms of influence than just gamma radiation

[terms]

So you get tired of waiting for uranium to kill you with radiation) The 235th uranium has an activity of about 80 kilobecquerels per gram (1 Bq is one nuclear decay per gram of matter per second). The 238th has only 12.5 kBq. For comparison, some Americium-241, which is used in fire sensors, or rapidly decaying Cesium-137, which, from the primary decay products in reactors, emit as much as terabecquerels per gram. Banal potassium-40, which is always found in nature along with ordinary potassium, and therefore always enters the body and lives in it, has an activity of about 4.5 kBq, which is only 2 kopecks less than that of uranium 235th. Yes, uranium is mainly an alpha emitter, but beta and gamma radiation inside the body are not particularly useful)

If these shells were really stored there, then the Ukrainians can thank the British just as ardently as they did when they received these shells.

Of course, it would be nice if it arrived at the warehouse with a power supply unit. Someday, we may find out the truth.

There were reports that after the most powerful explosions near Khmelnitsky, which thundered as a result of an attack by the RF Armed Forces at the end of last week, RKhBZ patrols began to work in the region. This is due to the fact that in the warehouses in the Khmelnitsky region there could be a British cargo, which included tons of ammunition with depleted uranium (DOU).

Nonsense is nonsense. Shells with depleted uranium, not enriched.
They do not give radioactive contamination of the area. It is especially strange to read this fiction on a site that specializes in military topics. Such fantasies are more suitable for sites for housewives, somewhere between posting a new pie recipe and discussing how to clean a cat's litter box.

Well, this is not entirely nonsense) RKhBZ can look for depletion simply by the characteristic bismuth peaks on the spectrum), but the radiological danger really should not be inflated, because depletion has orders of magnitude more impressive toxicological effect.

[Egg]

Quote from solar

Shells with depleted uranium, not enriched.
They do not give radioactive contamination of the area.

depleted uranium gives very weak gamma radiation, which cannot be measured with a conventional dosimeter
But! despite the weak radioactivity, depleted uranium gives, albeit small, radiation of alpha particles, it is usually spit, because alpha particles do not even penetrate ordinary newsprint, but at the same time alpha particles are fragments of nuclei and have a large mass, bombarding the surface of any substance, they destroy its nuclei and knock electrons out of their orbits, making this substance radioactive.
Everything changes when particles of depleted uranium (in the form of dust with air, water, food) enter the body and irradiate the cells of the body with alpha particles, the bombardment of cells by nuclear fragments destroys the cell and makes it radioactive, and then the cell irradiates the surrounding cells with alpha, beta and gamma radiation calling out decay.
Therefore, the ingestion of radioactive substances into the body is thousands of times more dangerous than simple exposure to gamma or X-rays.
I think you will get very sick when your liver becomes radioactive, and besides, depleted uranium is a potent poison, which is also not conducive to health.

Due to its high density, depleted uranium protects well from radioactive exposure and is very widely used for protection against radiation, but the protection is always sealed in a thin steel shell, for example, gamma flaw detectors used in industry and construction have a depleted uranium body covered with a sealed thin steel casing.

The worst thing in this situation is that conventional, standard dosimeters cannot determine the presence of depleted uranium in soil or water, the background will exceed the radiation of dust scattered on the ground.

[solar]

Written, of course, scientifically.
Only in reality, the toxic effect of the widely used lead is much greater than that of depleted uranium. Moreover, the real (and not theoretical) harm to health from it has not been proven by anyone. It is used in dentures, for example, without any steel casings.
Not to mention that the amount of depleted uranium emissions, even if they were, is much less than the emissions of uranium isotopes from coal-fired power plants.

in terms of toxic effects, it may be less toxic than lead, but I wouldn’t add depleted uranium to my children’s food, and the same to my neighbor
I categorically disagree about the coal-fired power plant, depending on how long it takes to count these emissions, if in a couple of thousand years it can be enough for 1 projectile.

[solar]

We analyzed the dependence of pollution with uranium isotopes in total in the war in Iraq and Yugoslavia in relation to emissions from coal-fired power plants in Yugoslavia alone.

The total mass of depleted uranium in munitions used in both conflicts in question[25] approximates the mass of the natural mixture of uranium isotopes released into the atmosphere from burning fossil coal in Yugoslavia alone over 5 years (calculated based on annual consumption[26], assuming smoke purification at all facilities from 95% fly ash, without taking into account the increased radioactivity and ash content of local brown coals [27] and the radiation contribution of thorium isotopes).

For information, they used in Iraq

During the first war of the international coalition against Iraq, the coalition fired a total of about 782 depleted uranium projectiles, most of which came from the United States[414]. In total, from 13 to 275 tons of depleted uranium were used[300].

During the Iraq war in 2003, about 300 depleted uranium shells were fired, most of which were in the United States[000].

During the bombings in Yugoslavia and Bosnia, the US fired more than 40 depleted uranium shells, most of which fell on Kosovo and Bosnia[000].

According to the UNEP investigation, the use of depleted uranium in Yugoslavia did not affect the environment and / or the population, as well as combatants[21].

Those couple of hundred shells at most, which the British brought to Ukraine, are simply an insignificant amount compared to these figures and emissions from coal stations.

This, for example, is like on waste heaps for dumping waste from coal-fired thermal power plants - there dosimeters generally go off scale

[nik-mazur]

in warehouses in the Khmelnitsky region there could be a British cargo, which included tons of ammunition with depleted uranium

As it turned out, depleted uranium, as well as dispersal of panic in the enemy's information field, are games that can be played together. Therefore, it was not so important whether depleted uranium was there and how dangerous it was - the information wave about radiation contamination and two-headed mutants must be promoted and supported in every possible way.

[AlexWar]

- The zone of the radius of destruction from the explosion of shells with depleted uranium is 50 kilometers. These areas can be considered a danger zone. When released into water and air, this radioactive spot will spread. The affected area itself cannot be used for growing food. Given that the half-life of uranium is 4,5 billion years, then this problem is forever. In Iraq and Syria, the number of cancer patients with extremely serious consequences has increased at least six times. In order to level the problem in neighboring areas and places of destruction, it will be necessary to remove the entire top layer of soil and take it to radiation burial grounds, ”Igor Nikulin, a microbiologist and former member of the UN Commission on Biological and Chemical Weapons, told Life. “So far we don’t know if London managed to deliver all three thousand shells to Kyiv, and this makes it difficult to assess the threats to Russia.

The use of shells, according to the expert, is tantamount to the use of a "dirty bomb": "It seems that Ukrainians are not going to live on this land if they stockpile such weapons and do not monitor their safety and, moreover, are going to use them on their own territory." Despite the fact that alpha radiation is not as dangerous as beta or gamma radiation, when it enters the human body, it leads to fatal consequences.

Depleted uranium is a toxic heavy metal that has the same characteristics as uranium but is about 60% less toxic and radioactive. The substance is the main by-product of uranium enrichment. It remains after the isotopes with higher radioactivity are taken to the production of nuclear fuel or weapons.
Depleted uranium has a high density, approximately twice that of lead.

What are depleted uranium bullets
Uranium is a heavy and durable material. In terms of hardness, it is several times higher than the characteristics of steel. It was this material that was chosen in order to easily penetrate armor, which can be up to 30 cm thick. In fact, inside a bullet or projectile there is a uranium “nail”, which, due to its hardness and energy, is able to penetrate any armor that cannot be succumbed to conventional bullets and projectiles.
Uranium is not the heaviest metal. It is heavier than gold (19,9 kg/liter), platinum (21,5 kg/liter) and osmium (22,6 kg/liter), but these materials are too expensive for the manufacture of bullets and tank shells, while depleted uranium is practically free, because it is considered waste products.

Bullet cores are often made from tungsten, a material as hard as uranium but not as cheap. Depleted uranium shells were used by the Americans during military operations in Iraq, Kosovo, Serbia, and the Persian Gulf.

Depleted uranium is not radioactive enough to penetrate the skin of humans and animals. But its accidental ingestion, inhalation, penetration through wounds still leads to radiation damage. During the explosion of any of the shells, uranium is partially or completely crushed and pollutes the environment. The most likely diseases that can be caused by depleted uranium and other poisonous substances contained with it in shells are oncology, skin diseases, kidney failure, and liver damage.

Another study, conducted after the fighting in Serbia, found an increased incidence of cancer in military personnel who worked with shells that contained depleted uranium. It states that these shells, in addition to uranium itself, contained substances such as mercury, bismuth and lead, whose negative impact on human health has long been proven.

The incidence of cancer may increase in 10 years.

The uranium rod is pyrophoric (capable of igniting under certain conditions), after being pierced, it can be destroyed, and its sharp fragments burn and, after being pierced, hit the crew and equipment much more effectively, and significantly increase the risks of fire and detonation of ammunition.
That's probably why it was on fire there, a hellish explosion.
Pyrophoricity (from ancient Greek πῦρ "fire, heat" + φορός "bearing") - the ability of a solid material in a finely divided state to ignite spontaneously in air in the absence of heating.
