    Mexico had 2 relevant ones that I can think of, none from a reactor exploding or anything like that tho

    1-In 1988 Ireland sent us a radiated milk shipment contaminated by the chernobyl incident, then things went south

    2-In 1984 by dismatling a private mexican medical facility for lack of funds and personel, some machines containing highly radiactive materials ended up thrown in a junkyard and later processed into construction materials, then things went south

    On two occasions, some fucking idiots stole vans caring radioactive waste from medical equipment meant for disposal.

    The Cesium-137 incident

    TL;DR: A man found a box discarded by a radiotherapy institute, took it home and cracked it open. Four people died, hundreds contaminated
