Well the conversation went along the lines of the "hot" stuff is the stuff that ionizes...and keeps on doing it for a few 100K years.
It can however be encased in Synthrock and dropped down a deep shaft....say a few 100k south of Tennant Creek...and shouldn't bother anyone for a *very* long time.
Low level stuff has a short half life, and becomes benign after a few hours to a few months. This is usually stored on site.
Funny you should mention cooking!

If you do, almost certainly it is radioactive.... (but only a little)
