This trip was made on October 2, 2010. I did not know until this trip that depleted uranium was only depleted of the fissionable material, uranium isotope U235.
An interesting article is at the site below.

If you notice in the very beginning of the video, the Geiger counter tube is moved over the small plate of depleted uranium provided by the WSMR group. The gamma shield is open on the Geiger tube. There is a lot of noise and chaos around the table and other specimens are a bit hard to see along with the Geiger counter readings.
