The Scotsman says they are from school (the sort of very minor radioactives teachers use to get a geiger counter to react & wake the kids up) & that they "may have been there for some time" (ie years)this seems to reflect more on the hysteria the word "nuclear" evokes than anything real.

Given they were marked as radioactive.
Given they were in a school...
Why, oh why was this declared a major incident? They'll be about as radioactive as a cup of tea - I suspect they're old physics sources, and 8 fire engines could have been off doing better things.
