The Cikande site shipped radioactive shrimp which were detected at US ports. Cikande is an industrial region in Indonesia. The source of the radiation is believed to be a local metal smelter that apparently ingested Cs137 sources from scrap. The area is now under access control due to radiation risk.

Fields up to 1mSv/hr have been detected and signs placed at >0.5mSv/hr locations inside the region[0].
