Actually, I have to say that I don't know enough about what she is talking about to comment. I wish I did. I remain open minded on the topic.

Actually, I do know a little about this sort of thing. Radioactive sources are used widely in the oil industry, globally - Caesium 137. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137 . See this link (great bedtime reading).
(Caesium-137, one of the main threats to those in the area around Fukushima, can cause burns, acute radiation sickness and even death at high doses. It can contaminate food and water and if ingested, gets distributed around the body, where it builds up in soft tissues, such as muscles. It has a half-life of about 30 years, meaning it takes that long for its radioactivity to fall by half. Over time, it is expelled from the body in urine.)
Caesium 137 sources are therefore treated with a high degree of respect and caution. So much so that they are kept in lead lined bunkers in the remotest place possible on an oil rig until they are run in the hole. When they are run, no access is allowed near the area of operation until the source is underground and only authorised personnel are allowed to handle the sources. Each of those personnel have to wear detectors that measure their cumulative exposure and these are personal to them such that if their exposure exceeds a designated limit after a set amount of time then they are no longer allowed to handle them. All radioactive CS137 sources are tracked and accounted for constantly as a matter of extreme priority. It is not permitted to "lose" one of these things, such are the risks involved. They are no more than about a 3 of centimetres in length and 1 centimetre in diameter.
As the lady says, nuclear radiation cant be smelled, felt, tasted etc etc and we have absolutely no idea if it is around. It isnt hot or cold to the touch yet it still burns. It gives NO warning of its presence. Except by geiger counter - one of which is used when sources are used in a drilling situation - I have seen them in operation.)
Again, I dont know enough, but I know enough to know that these substances need to be treated with caution and are indeed treated with caution throughout the length and breadth of the UK and globally.
And, I wouldn't want nuclear waste being dumped at the bottom of my garden either.
