Uranium and its alloys should be considered for any application where weight and/or strength is required, or where weight to volume is important. There is considerable literature on uranium and its alloys. The fear of handling metallic uranium should not be a factor. It is the least hazardous of all long-lived isotopes. Sound industrial hygiene practices will provide adequate protection. In general, safety controls are similar to those required for other heavy metals.
