Depleted uranium is uranium depleted of the isotobes that emit radiation. It emits less radiation than uranium ore. It is quite dangerous when moving at a few thousand feet per second. But sitting still it is as dangerous as sand.

It isn't a good idea to eat it, though. Which might be difficult to avoid if a lot of it has just exploded near you. It can cause heavy metal poisoning, like lead.
