The Ukraine is barely fighting anymore hence the non existent counter offensive. In reality Russia has already won and now nato are just sending weapons straight to Russia while decreasing their own standard of living. It’s based as shit.

Had once. Mostly research ones, not industrial, but enough to create something. Buildings was sold out long ago, but equipment could be still there in some state. It's not easy to sell such equipment. There was some attempts with Westinghouse to somehow ressurect something, but AFAIK, nothing came out from that, even for NPPs.
I didn't check that and I don't know the path to look for. Also, if such cargo didn't stay long enough in one place during transportation to leave significant trace. Even if there was some spikes, then it will be nearly indistinguishable from daily fluctuations and without knowing when and where to look for, it will be very hard to find something.
Meanwhile, there are quite a lot of strange spots with relatively high background levels over Europe according to that REMon maps. And not in France who have intensive nuclear exploitation. Didn't dig a lot, but some places look strange.
No. Gamma levels of such magnitude is not harmful for humans. You need literally put DU inside body to get noticeable damage from alpha and beta to the cells as it happened in areas where DU shells was shot and so produce dust and residents occasionally consume it with food and water.
Thanks for the explanation.
But theoretically exposed to it, as a tank, loading crew constantly loading and handling the shells would cause long term health problems if it is providing significant gamma readings from an abundant stockpile.
You literally live on a such stockpile of slightly radioactive material named Earth.
Haha. No. It isn't radioactive, unless you travel into the upper atmosphere with the gamma rays. Although gamma readings are produced from a number of various sources outside of radioisotopes.
You even eat up to 3ug of thorium daily.
There are only two sources of gamma on the Earth - radioactive matarials, including those that are in soil, and from space as solar flares producing particle showers that ends in gamma in atmosphere and gamma radiation from outside solar system from different sources like our galaxy kernel and different interesting objects outside Milky way.
