from NY Times article: Union workers at the nation's only uranium conversion plant, in Metropolis, Ill., have erected 42 crosses nearby in memory of workers who died of cancer. Twenty-seven smaller crosses symbolize workers who have survived the disease.
In December 2003, an accidental release of uranium hexafluoride sent a plume of gas into the air, and nearby homes were evacuated.
