Which risk increases when depleted uranium is machined?

💡 Explanation

Machining depletes naturally protective oxides, therefore elevated concentration of radon progeny risk increases due to alpha decay byproducts. The mechanism is alpha decay, rather than neutron or gamma because the relative fraction of U-238 causes increased alpha emissions.
