Public concern about health hazards from depleted uranium weapons is
higher in Britain than in America. Pressure from thousands of sick
British vets and anti-nuclear activists prompted the British government
to finance research that led to the most accurate and precise urine
testing available for depleted uranium.

Key to the testing: Mass spectrometer

Mass spectrometers are used to identify unknown materials, especially in
small quantities. This mass spectrometer used by the U.S. military for
examining urine samples is less capable than the ones being used by the
British. A Pentagon health expert Lt. Col. Mark Melanson says that he's
not familiar with the British testing program but that the U.S. version
is more than adequate to detect quantities of depleted uranium that
endanger health. British testing officials say they've had no inquiries
about their methods or procedures from the U.S. government, despite a
promise by Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to
look into these programs and compare them with procedures used by the
U.S. military. Internal radiation expert Beate Ritz Pentagon officials
say their reliance on a less-than-the-best test is OK because of all the
research done with uranium miners, millers and processors that shows how
much ura-nium dust can be inhaled safely. They point to a U.S. Institite
of Medince report for support.

But Beate Ritz, a cancer researcher the institute turned to for
expertise on internal radiation, says there's too little known about
depleted uranium exposure to reach the conclusions the military has.
Changes in blood DNA indicate possible cancer Examinations of troops
with depleted uranium shrapnel, and studies with rats who inhaled the
metal, show a link between internal depleted uranium and changes in the
DNA of genes in the blood, says Richard J. Albertini, a cancer
researcher in Vermont. He and other scientists believe those changes in
DNA indicate cancer in humans.

After weighing risks, she'd choose weapons Terry Pellmar, a researcher
at the Armed Forces Radiobiological Research Institute, has conducted
important research on depleted uranium's impact on animals. She says
that while some increased risks might come from the weapons' use, she
would feel safe trusting the Pentagon's assessment of dangers.
