Yes, this was very disturbing during the public hearings. There was a guy working in the hangar where debris was dumped. The guy did not know about the uranium if I remember correctly and he got sick from it after a few years.
My understanding is that they use it in the tales for counter weight (because it's a "heavy metal"). Not sure if they still do that though.
