On Monday, employees of a recycling company in St. Michael sounded the alarm: radioactive material was found in the waste. It turned out to be medical waste from Italy that had not been properly disposed of. The nuclear waste is now safely stored and no one was injured.

On Monday afternoon, the director of a recycling company in Upper Styria called the police because radioactive material had been found in the waste. The investigation revealed that the nuclear waste in an Italian waste bale had been spotted on a truck during a routine check.

The bale of waste was secured in a separate room. Radiation detectors from the police and a radiation measurement technician from the Technical University of Graz determined that the waste of cancer drugs had not been disposed of properly.
