Hi Simon,
On another thought, Could the containers carried aboard the U-234 actually been carrying Uranium Hexafluoride? Simple Uranium Oxide (yellow cake) I believe would not have warranted the extreme containment described in official records. UF6 however, required such containment precautions. The mercury had been carried in separate containers according to the records I have. Any thoughts on that query? Again, I look forward to your most remarkable and well research enlightenment!
Sincerely,
Paul
