Alliant Techsytems Gets New DU Order

Nukewatch, in the States, reports that Alliant Techsystems, outside Minneapolis, Minnesota, the nation’s biggest assembler of uranium munitions, announced this week that it was awarded new contracts for 120-millimetre battle tank ammunition for the M1A1 main battle tanks. The contract is worth $38 million. As Alliant has removed all references to uranium or depleted uranium in its public notices, web pages and press releases, it can only be inferred at this point that the newest contracts are for uranium weapons. The tanks have always used DU ammunition in the past. [see: www.nukewatch.com]
