1. Unanticipated outcomes of the 2002 Afghan civilian studies

Radiological measurements of the uranium concentrations in Afghan civilians’ urine samples indicate abnormally high levels of non-depleted uranium. Radiological measurements of Afghan civilians’ have high concentrations of uranium in a range beginning at 4 X’s and reaching to over 20 X’s normal populations. This is 400% to 2000% higher than the study controls and normal population baselines of the concentrations of nanograms of uranium per liter of urine in a 24-hour sample. UMRC has completed initial but still preliminary studies that corroborate these finding in biological controls and geological samples taken in Operation Enduring Freedom bombsites.

These findings are significant in three ways:



1. The volumes (total concentrations) of uranium in the civilians studied are abnormally high as compared to local population controls. The only other findings presenting with these high concentrations are historically anomalous in certain populations exposed via unusual geological and technological (including occupational) conditions.

2. 100% of the studied population in the preliminary sample groups in Afghanistan is positive for these abnormally high concentrations.

3. The isotopic signature of the uranium in the Afghan study population is Non-depleted Uranium. This is an unexpected finding in that there has been no report of or confirmed findings of Non-Depleted Uranium in OEF or other military conflicts. It is not know at this point if the uranium is adulterated with transuranics.

2. Afghan civilians exposed to OEF bombing contaminated with Non-depleted Uranium – not, Depleted Uranium.

The isotopic ratios of the uranium contaminant measured in Afghan civilians show that it is not Depleted Uranium (DU). The isotopes of uranium found in the Afghan civilians’ urine is Non-Depleted Uranium. The only explanations of this finding are either anomalous geological and agricultural conditions (fertilizers) or the presence of uranium extracted from the front-end of the fuel or weapons production cycles. Whereas DU is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process, non-depleted uranium (NDU) is the feed stock of the enrichment phase of the fuel and weapons development cycles.

3. Civilian studies are corroborated by bomb-crater samples and control samples of local geological samples

UMRC investigated the possible origins of this contamination. The preliminary results of the radiological urine analysis are corroborated by radiological measurements of debris and weapons’ fragment samples at OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) target sites and bomb-craters. A discussion of the postulated origins of contamination and subsequent field investigations to follow-up these findings are provided in UMRC’s Field Report: “Precise Destruction -- Indiscriminate Effects”, posted on this web-site and the discussion posted below: “Examining the origin of Afghan civilians’ contamination”.

De VS hebben dus een nieuw type nucleair wapen ingezet in Afghanistan.

Concern is mounting over the military use of depleted uranium and its possible effects on the health of soldiers and civilians. New Scientist considers the evidence

Hoezo? Ze gebruiken al heel lang uranium in munitie.

Depleted Uranium Ja.

Maar dit is Non-Depleted Uranium. Is dus nog veel giftiger.
