I think they are adding a lot of depleted uranium to the paper now to
get rid of it.

I know a lot of paper these days fluoresces under UV light, but that's
not from its uranium content! (They actually add fluorescent dyes to
the mix to make it appear extra white,

Wouldn't that make it extra purple?

in much the same way as they
add them to detergents to make your whites whiter, and fluoresce under
'black light' i.e. UV illumination in night clubs etc)). Besides,
uranium salts are yellow, which isn't what paper mfrs want.
