Depleted Uranium Machining/Processing

[Tad Blanchard <Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

I was recently informed that our facility may begin using DU in the
development of thin-layer detection systems.  This is all new to me and
would like to talk or chat with others who have dealt with machining,
cutting, drilling, shaving, melting, molding or other processing of DU.  

Anyone willing to provide some information or URLs, please contact me by
private email.  

Thanks.
