The radiology clinic moved to new building, and following a legal dispute with the landlord of the previous site a Brazilian court legally barred the clinic owners from returning to the premises.

"But... we haven't finished moving."
"Access denied."
"We're a radiology clinic. There's, like, important equipment we have to move."
"Access denied."
"Seriously, it's fucking nuclear material, this is our business, you have to let us collect it."
"Access denied".

That's not exactly what I'd call unsupervised and unmaintained in an abandoned, dilapidated facility. From the wiki:

Quote:
the owners of IGR wrote several letters to the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), warning them about the danger
...
they could not remove the equipment by themselves once a court order prevented them from doing so
Hardly an indictment of the dangers of waste from the nuclear power industry, seing as how this was neither waste nor from the nuclear power industry.
