I don't see what is so dangerous about the uranium. Truthfully, uranium-238 is only weakly radioactive, and only releases alpha particles at that. It's not as though it's emitting gamma rays, or even worse, free neutrons. If you're worried, wear a face mask. Even a thin sheet of paper is more than enough to stop an alpha particle, and they certainly aren't powerful enough to penetrate your skin.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
