Right? Isn't it that the old steel doesn't have trace radioactive particles, and therefore can be used to detect radioactive particles or something?
It's called low-background steel, and how right you are. Traces of nuclear fallout have fuck-all to do with the steel's structural integrity.
Still get the overall point of the OP; we all have latent misconceptions waiting to get us mocked. Nobody sits on a pedal stool above everyone else in that regard.
Your evil!
You leave my evil out of this you son of a bitch!
Fun fact: radiation can actually make steel weaker. After decades of being in a reactor, anyway
