Depleted uranium is a controversy in the fact concerning armor peircing bullets and artillery rounds. A U- 238 or depleted uranium fuel rods from a power plant, (i.e. very dense, and really cool material to make a bullet from) will become more radioactive when heated, Even though the material has been depleted through a nuclear reaction. I'm not sure that I would want to heat treat a piece of uranium, (quite frankly, I don't even know that you can) and feel that I am safe doing so. There's all kinds of really cool steels to make you're blade from....... I would probably go that rout. Good luck, and if I see a mushroom cloud in the distance, I will know it was you making a really bitchen knife!!!
Rock on, Jeremy
