Right but lots of things are radioactive. The point is that the headline might give the impression that this could have been used to make a bomb or something. If it was natural uranium 7kg is peanuts. You need tons and tons to get enough fissionable material for one bomb.

Uranium has no stable isotopes. Some are more radioactive than others, but ‘radioactive’ uranium is a redundant term.
Article does not mention those details but if BARC has concluded that it was radioactive then it most definitely is radioactive.
