Why not? Melt them down, fix the alloy ratios, and reform them into
less critical components. OR melt them, mix the metal in with a much
larger batch of similar metal and use them on the next reactor
anywhere. Radiation is not the boogy-man, if you are working with
molten steel, a few curies are the least of your worries.
