And the governor says the contaminated area will be made into a park to commemorate those who died.

Great, let's go to the radiation park, sit on a blanket on the ground, and eat with our hands! Only if they give me a dosimeter first...

I heard a similar story about a group of children in a 3rd world country that were playing in a junkyard and came across some discarded tubes from an x-ray machine that contained a glowing radioactive powder that they called, 'fairie dust' as they broke them opened and flung it around in the air...

There was a star trek episode like this, where Data loses his memory and lands in an 18th century type world. Some of the inhabitants found his equipment box marked "radioactive" (didn't know what it said, they didn't know english) and wore the "pretty black stones" inside.... everybody got sick within a week.

Guess this was the inspiriation

More like "Scary dust"

I feel a little woozy just from reading about the debaucle!
