Yes, low levels of radiation. Perhaps a few times that of "normal background" levels. Almost all of this is Alpha from the unfissioned Uranium, only about 1% to 2% of the Uranium in Little Boy actually fissioned. Alpha particles can be completed shielded by a single sheet of paper, however accidental ingestion of Alpha emitting material is dangerous. Most of the Beta and Gamma emitters decayed to nearly undetectable levels decades ago.
