    The material was discovered in a suitable and effective container with no release of radiation, the brigade added in a statement.

    I don’t get it. Why are three people in the hospital and why is the area cordoned off with big contamination warnings?

      Probably out of an abundance of caution, and the police never get to actually use their hazmat response kit.

      I’m guessing it was one of those toy uranium samples from a previous resident left in the house, and when the new residents found it, they called to find out what to do with it.
