What are you trying to show me? Thank you for the feedback.
it says it levels up to level 3, but the later display shows it at level 2
Oh I will amend it. Thank you very pointing out for me
Hey, I can't respond to your comment reply because I've apparently been blocked at some point, no idea when or why. Anyway, the author comments seem to imply that it is magically enriched but my point was more that the material properties that make DU useful as a metal are also ones that make it a bad barrier. But what I want to quibble with is "isn't radioactive enough for a sustained fission". Fissile != Radioactive. Radon, for example.
Anyways, I'm not saying that the uranium isn't dangerous, but they seem to just be making placks out of it, only really making it dangerous if you say... hang around trying to break down the barrier at say... the vault library. For instance I have radon slowly seeping out of the ground near where I live, but my house doesn't have a pump to remove it from the basement. We still use the basement, we just don't sleep down their or anything like that.
And when I say it is not undergoing sustained fission, the U-235 is still decaying, but it isn't undergoing a chain reaction that you need to control before it explodes or turns into the elephant's foot.
Nah, the author blocked, not sure why. Critical and supercritical concentration has variables but bulk DU's main danger seems to be that it's like lead but catches fire in certain conditions. Author replies were inconsistent on what isotope mix it was though.
I was more pushing back against the pseudoscience idiot saying isotopes decay because of "unfavorable" environment. 
Be careful with the radon though, that stuff can be nasty. Rn-222 has a half-life of 3.8d, if it's in your lungs when it decays it stays there as it quickly decays to 22y lead via 3 alpha and 2 beta including Po-218 and Po-214. Even a tiny exposure can cause lung cancer and it accumulates. It also takes time for radon to be fully expelled, like helium.
Not saying it is guaranteed lethal, just that it shouldn't be treated lightly, same as any elevated exposure to ionising radiation.
