It ended up as scrap metal in Rotterdam.

Not all of it. After all a big chunk of the nasties that
Syria had ended up just up the road in Oak Ridge...so WE have most
of the fun toys now.

Care to educate people? Or are we talking about ships here?

Not ships...materials for "building nuclear weapons". There
was a bit of a stir in the area when the Feds quietly flew the stuff
into the local airport, and trucked it up to Oak Ridge. Of course
the public did not find out about this until WELL after the event
Here is a news story on it.

and a somewhat more skeptical note here

I suppose it says something (I'll let YOU figure out what)
that a quick google search only brings up stories about the
event from OUTSIDE the USA.
It was a tempest in a teacup here, actually. There were
a number of folks that were kind of grumpy about the possibility
of environmental damage *IF* there had been an accident...but
really not much was said.
