I wonder if you could provide a source for this theory (scientific study preferably).

As for my physics and chemistry understanding I have some problems with this claim.
Radiation comes from unstable isotopes (Variants of atoms). These isotopes emit radiation in form of small particles like protons or photons. When these particles land on another matter they do damage but dont cause the other material to be radioactive too in most cases. This is why we must use isotopes in medicine and cannot simply irradiate in some cases. A patient after external radiation therapy is not radioactive.
As long as you´re not forging these isotopes into steel (I don´t know whether this is so easy on an artificial/non natural level) a piece of steel should not be contaminated by higher radiation than its natural level caused by contamination with natural isotopes.

I´m of course open for scientific data proving other conclusions.
