If they use cobalt-60 for medical sterilization they (either side) make a place radioactive for hundreds of years.
Our local facility is in an undisclosed location and from the people I know who have been there, it is heavily guarded.
When I put myself into Uke shoes [would those be Ukes on Glukes instead of Glocks on Crocs?],

I don’t think I would want to make a place dangerously radioactive for so long. Maybe for only 10 years.
That’s what lends credence to what the Rukes found at Chernobyl:
Russia destroys Chernobyl lab, gaining ‘highly active samples’

That would be enough to slow down every Ruke column headed into Ukraine. They gotta put on the Nuke Bunny Suits, detect radiation, clean it up, deal with all the negapublicity, get their average soldier wondering what this whole thing is about and why they aint bein’ welcomed with open arms & flowers, generally mess with their heads.
Plus, there’s the distinct possibility of real nuke bombs.
