You don't want to be in the same room with depleted uranium if its seal coat is even getting old. I had to be around an old DC-10 aileron at my work a few years ago. As back shop inspector I did some research on the stuff and found out the same bad news. We wrapped the weights in clear plastic and duct tape and tried to avoid any further deterioration of the seal coat it had. That and the working properties of tungsten make lead look pretty good, toxic as it is!
