26. These things have happened before
Prior to Chernobyl, the worst nuclear accident ever involved a medical testing device that used radioactive material.

The radioactive material from the machine was scattered through a few city blocks, and some of it was incorporated into the steel re-enforcing rods that ended up used in a construction project.

This was AFTER Three Mile Island and BEFORE Chernobyl.

I'm going from memory from a long time ago. I think I read about it in Omni Magazine, and I think it was in Mexico City.
