June 14 New York Symposium On Depleted Uranium Controversy
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Nuclear Policy Research Institute (NPRI) will
sponsor a public symposium on June 14, 2003 at the New York Academy of
Medicine on the Health Effects of Depleted Uranium Munitions. The New
York Academy of Medicine is located on Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street in
Manhattan. The symposium takes place from 8:45am through 5:15pm. For
complete information and on-line registration, go to

The event will focus on the potential medical effects of depleted
uranium and the legal ramifications for its use, especially with regard
to the controversy over clean up of munitions and tanks scattered across
Iraq in the wake of the recent war, in which vastly more DU in more
populated areas was used than in the 1991 Gulf War.
The symposium gathers from around the world experts on all sides of the
issue, including those who have been quoted in recent media coverage of
the depleted uranium controversy and/or have done important scientific
reserarch in this area. Leading scientists and experts will help
refocus the DU debate on scientific and factual points, and present
their findings in an accessible way . Policy recommendations will be
presented and questions will be taken from the audience. Scheduled
