Depleted uranium is a byproduct of armor (tank etc) protection, although it is also found in some antiarmor munitions. The point isn't to use a "nuclear" weapon; it's danger comes if a tank is damaged to the extent that the depleted uranium may leach from the damaged armor tiles. That fact is, the soldiers fighting in the tanks and working with the munitions are the ones most likely to suffer the potential health effects than anyone in the civil population, unless they scavenge a burning armored vehicle.
