Upon information and belief, the Defendant CITY OF NEW ORLEANS was informed in 2013 of the presence of radioactive materials in the subsurface soil located at or near Lowerline Street and Edinburg Streets in New Orleans, Louisiana. This discovery was made while scanning for security threats in preparation of hosting the 2013 Superbowl in New Orleans, Louisiana. Despite having knowledge of the presence of hazardous radioactive materials in the subsurface soil located at or near Lowerline Street and Edinburg Streets in New Orleans, Louisiana, the City took no action to warn and/or to protect Plaintiffs, other residents or other business owners of the presence of soil contamination, the risk of exposure to Radium-226 and radiation; the reasonable steps to take in an emergency when exposed; the health effects that are common to exposure; how a person can tell if they have been exposed; and short and/or long term health effects associated with exposure to Radium-226 and radiation. The discovery of a hazardous condition was secreted from the public.

No mention of radiation readings, from that one can determine “exposure limits” for safety.
Most ppl would get more ‘rad’ exposure from an airplane flight at 35,000 feet.
Makes sense, that part of the city was surrounded by industry related to oil field supply and shipfitting during WWII.
Radium-226, is commonly naturally occurring, though may not be in this case. It is also commonly over-reacted to and as you said there are no readings mentioned in the source.
