Uranium in itself is only weakly radioactive. This should be a complete non-story.

Yeah but most people don't know this. They hear "Uranium" and think Chernobyl or nuclear bomb.

True. Which is why Boeing, et al, don't advertise the fact that depleted uranium is used in fairly large chunks to balance the control surfaces on every commercial airplane. Folks simply would not understand the difference between depleted and weapons grade. Same deal with 30mm shells.
