They did say that, "Any time you have nuclear material on board, if the airplane crashes, nuclear material can be spread in the immediate area of the crash, so you get radioactivity in the immediate area of the crash."
Radioactivity is the least of their problems. Plutonium is extremely toxic and a little bit goes a long way. A few pounds of loose plutonium can poison hundreds of thousands of folks. But there was never any danger.
