The melting of a radioactive source in a steel works can be catastrophic to a steel maker. It can have a major impact on operations that could result in huge financial losses from cleaning up contaminated plant and lost steel production. Exposure to workers and the public could result in prosecution by Health and Safety or Environmental agencies. The number of recorded incidents of radioactive isotopes being delivered to scrap metal processing sites continues to rise globally. The Metals industry imports ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal from suppliers all over the world. These suppliers take scrap from the nuclear, chemical and oil industries as well as from the medical and industrial sectors. The true source of this scrap metal is often unknown or untraceable.

Suppliers to the metals industry have an obligation to protect their customers from receiving contaminated material. | |
