Is Depleted Uranium used, or considered to be a desirable metal for use, in Bunker Buster Bombs?
The following sources indicate yes. What seems clear is that Dr. Kilpatrick was wrong or gave a misleading answer when he said the DU was not suitable for bunker busters. Whether the US used it in Iraq is not known. The US is in the position to prove whether or not it used uranium (du or uu) in this manner, but has not done so. It’s no wonder then that people are suspicious that it was used in bunker busters given the willingness it has shown to use ‘depleted’ uranium in Iraq. 1.
