Depleted Uranium Alloy Shielding Blocks from Japan
Depleted uranium alloy shielding blocks, such as DU-titanium alloys (e.g., 0.75% Ti), are used for gamma radiation shielding in medical containers due to their high density. As alloys containing depleted uranium, they are classified under tariff item 2844.30.00, which covers alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium depleted in U235.
