For years (and maybe still) Erwin Tennessee was a major site for processing 
depleted uraninum.  Made it into the cores of armour piercing anti-tank 
bullets . . . AND tank armour . . . among other things.  The locals (aka

no danger.  I understand, though, that the incidence of cancer in the area 
is untypically high.  Charles
