Uranium at it's elemental density is a comparable price to tungsten??
- laverya 5y agoYeah, it's part of what makes it so fantastic as armor piercing ammunition. And tank armor.

Funny thing is, while Depleted Uranium is about the same density as tungsten, it's also a fair bit cheaper (for major nuclear governments) because it's an otherwise nearly useless byproduct of the uranium enrichment process, and there's around a million tons of it sitting in storage worldwide.
