TIL 4 people died (including a child) and over 200 were seriously injured after two men stole a caesium-137 radiotherapy device from an abandoned hospital and sold it for scrap, hoping to make money.

Wikipedia has an entire list of civilian radiation accidents.

The one that scares me the most happened in Ukraine where a radioactive capsule was accidentally built into an apartment building. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramatorsk_radiological_accident
