The Chinese sure love exporting contaminated goods. If it's not Lead, it's Cobalt-60.

Mmm, delicious cancer.

Police said in a statement that the shipment had come from China's TISCO company and had arrived in the northern port town of La Spezia in May last year.

La Spezia. The gateway to Cinque Terre. Love love love that place... If you go to Italy, it's a must see.

All post WWII steel is radioactive! That's why pre-war steel is actually more valuable for use in radioactive sensitive equipement. But of course, nothing like the crap China puts out. Accidentally mixed with Cobalt-60 lol.
