Depleted Uranium in a/c construction.

Hi guys just out of curiosity...I was reading an article in a mag about a/c scrapping and salvage of parts....it mentioned that depleted uranium was used as a counter balance weights,

My question....why this material if its just for a counter balance is....me thinking maybe its very dense like lead.....seems a lot of trouble to go to seeing thats its costly to dispose of.

Nick.
