Depleted uranium is, well, depleted. It's U238 and so it's just heavy abundant shit. Perfect to give ruzzia orcs their daily last meal. I wouldn't sleep with one of those things as a pillow but otherwise there's nothing to worry about. Uranium is literally everywhere in minute amounts in the dirt so just keep those things a few feet away and you'll be fine.
