Yeah like the Goia incident. Terrifying and that wasn't material nearly as dangerous as Plutonium

No, plutonium is nowhere near as dangerous as the medical stuff. The capsules out of a therapy unit can easily kill, Pu-238 and Pu-239 can't hurt you unless they get inside your body or unless you're cooked by the Pu-238.
