Here's a reference which should give you a good but brief outline of
Uranium and it associated properties and uses.

Incendentally this reference is taken from the CRC Handbook of Chemistry
and Physics a great reference manual. I still have my old copy in storage
- great paper weight ;)
Now one thing I've forgotten is that uranium is also pyrophoric when
finely divided. I wonder if that property can be capitalized on to cause
harm. Not only could one use Uranium (235, 238 whatever) as an incendiary
device but both types of U will leave a radioactive hazard. Of course
it's more logical to use U-238 for that.
