1 Depleted uranium ammunition
Depleted uranium has radioactive and chemical toxicity
In the Persian gulf war in 1991, American army actual used depleted uranium bombs against Iraq's chariot forces (official statement to use about 300 tons).
In bosnia and kosovo conflict war, American army also took about 1 rounds depleted uranium bombs in bosnia, took about 3 rounds depleted uranium bombs in kosovo.

And it is generally believed the war in Iraq, the United States is also extensive use of depleted uranium bombs.
The largest harm is in the 1991 gulf war, The heavy use of depleted uranium ammunition, the United States launched the depleted uranium ammunition to make a lot of depleted uranium scattered in the Persian gulf, cause serious pollution of uranium in the region. After the gulf war, basra in southern Iraq war, radiation intensity increases sharply, particularly gratuitous litters blood diseases and cancer patients increased sharply.
The kosovo war in the region has formed many pollution area, threatening the health of hundreds of thousands of people, also caused combat soldiers health consequences.

2 Protective measures
The first layer of defense:elaborate design, manufacturing, construction, to ensure that the plant has a sophisticated hardware environment. Set up a detailed procedure, strict rules, the plant workers have a high level of education and training, everyone pay attention to and care about security, has a complete software environment.
The second layer of defense: to strengthen the operation management and supervision, timely and correctly handle exceptions, troubleshooting.
The third layer of defense: in severely abnormal cases normal reactor control and protection system of action, to prevent equipment failure and human error accident.
The fourth layer of defense: when the accident happens, enable the plant security system including the peripheral security system in order to strengthen the management of accident in power station, prevent accident expanding protection reactor containment.
The fifth layer of defense: once happened accidents with radioactive leaks enable factory inside and outside the emergency response plan to mitigate the effects of the accident on the surrounding residents and environment.
