Oh yeah, they did the usual "It'll be contaminated for millennia" bit.
*sigh* With some fairly ordinary cleaning, you'd get the background count down to normal levels for many buildings (say ones with a lot of granite in them).
Oh yeah, see my reply above about how the same amount of uranium oxide could be turned into maybe a dozen simple, easy to build *nukes*.
(Note that if it isn't enriched uranium, they don't *need* to smuggle it, because uranium oxide has industrial uses)
