It's not as if nuclear waste will be "ancient artifacts" for ill informed grave robbers thousands of years from now... But already right now.

I'm slightly surprised that anyone working in a scrap metal place would assume that a glowing metal was supernatural before considering the possibility of something harmful. Surely a scrap place would encounter dangerous substances and metals regularly? I assume that very poor standards, little in the way of education and cultural differences come into it, but this turned into one hell of a disaster.

The list of accidents at the end of the entry has a few relating to hospital gear being stolen. They are all pretty horrific, beaten only by the links to radiation therapy accidents killing patients. It's scary stuff.
