Ask HN: Is depleted uranium being spread from the Khmelnitsky explosion?
by kavalg on Hacker News.
On May 14 an ammo depot was destroyed in Khmelnitsky. There is a thesis (mainly propped in Russian telegram channels) that the UK DU ammo was kept in this warehouse. The evidence being presented, is an anomaly in the background radiation matching the event [1]. I am not an expert in the subject matter and would like to know your opinion about this, shall we be concerned and what can be done in case there is a real danger (e.g. avoiding going out for a while). Bulgarian people are very sensitive to the subject, due to the Chernobyl and the use of DU shells in the Serbia war. Please, don’t turn this into a political discussion, taking sides of Russia, Ukraine, UK etc. I am only interested in how to check the facts and what can be done to minimize health risks.
