I love gold for it's malleability and heat-holding properties

I've been reading up on uranium lately. U-235 is the fissile stuff, making up 0.72% of naturally occurring uranium. U-238 is the rest. Half-life of 4.5 billion years, so it isn't exactly highly radioactive. Processed uranium with less than .72% U-235 is considered 'depleted' and has interesting properties, such as being 40% more dense than lead and being excellent radiation shielding material. It also holds heat very well. It's quite strong, unlike gold. Well known as the material used in anti tank rounds, it also happens to make a very good armor, as well.

It isn't nearly as dangerously radioactive as I thought, in fact it's nearly inert. It IS pretty poisonous, though.

The US DOE has a lot of it and is trying to find commercial uses for it. It appears to have promise in drilling oil wells due to its density. Currently estimated value is about $2000/ton.

Funny what you read on DoD websites these days...

Not to be Debbie Downer here but the Oil Industry had the same idea.
Out of sight out of mind is just childish.
