If it was "metal bars contaminated with uranium" there is most likely an innocent explanation. Separating the uranium would be a problem for most businesses.A US facility had radiation alarms go off. Cause was a Mexican truck passing on I 25. It contained metal-framed office furniture made with steel contaminated with Cobalt 60. A disused hospital gamma ray device had been melted with the scrap and used to make steel.
