33 lbs sounds suspiciously like a rounding for 15 kilos.  So, lets do that.
The density of uranium is about 19 g/cc.  That gives a volume of just under
800 cc.   That would be a sphere with a radius of just under 6 cm.

Translating into English units, we have a volume just under 50 cc, and a
sphere radius of about 2.25".
