I guess this means that it wasn't deemed radioactive, dumbass.

"the overall chance of any accident that releases radioactive materials to the environment is about one in 230. "People offsite in the downwind direction...could inhale small quantities of radio nuclides" the NASA EIS says.

A local sheriff in Texas has reported some of the shuttle debris recovered is radioactive. So far there has been no confirmation or denial from NASA.

As I said, at the time it was deemed radioactive. Radioactive fuels being tested in space for the purpose of space flight when blown apart from their protective casings can contaminate objects around them.
