- This MSDS sheet (shown with 3 photos of documents) was
released from the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center
in Crane, Indiana, on 22 May 03 in response to a 2 April 03 Freedom of
Information Act request by Glen Milner. The Material Safety Data Sheet,
dated 14 May 1984, shows the Navy has been aware of many of the problems
associated with depleted uranium since that time.
-
- Glen Milner worked with other to expose that the US Navy
has been firing 'depleted' uranium off the coast of Washington State. Sunny
Miller interviewed Glen Milner on October 6, 2003. HEAR AUDIO (mp3) - 28
minutes.

- See the documents he received via a Freedom of Information
Act request below. For example, on page 3 of 3:
-
- "8. Should DU be handled in powdered form [DU munitions
create a fine powder when fired due to their pyrophoric nature] or should
a DU penetrator oxidize resulting from a penetrator's involvement in an
accident such as a fire, then the intake of DU aerosol or ash via inhalation,
ingestion or absorption pesents an internal radiatin hazard.
-
- 9. Depending on the solubility of the particular DU compound
in body fluids, it may also be toxic, particular to the kidney."
-
- Below, we have printed the documents received via FOIA
