No Radioactive Steel Found In State
South Carolina reports no slightly radioactive steel entering the state. DHEC cites Nuclear Regulatory Commission notification that four western states found cobalt 60 contaminated steel. Autry notes readings 2 to 6 millirems per hour, not highly dangerous, as investigation continues and shipments into South Carolina aren’t monitored without specific data. A New York case showed a scrapped cobalt 60 medical device, detected before broader transport.
