Street-corner mentioned in USNRC Report

Would anyone be expecting Cesium 137 in a drainage ditch here? How did it get there? Where did they put it after it was “remediated”? There will be more and more of these cases, because no one wants nuclear waste; no one wants to pay for its disposal, but the utilities still want to make more nuclear waste, and the US government supports them (as do some other governments). Almost everyone wants nuclear waste to be someone else’s problem. Even the crazed idea of the US NRC to raise the public radiation exposure astronomically to 100 mSv, and give everyone cancer, won’t totally “solve” this sort of problem. The case was just closed without any clear explanation. Did they check for other radionuclides? It appears not.
