how does radioactive material “infect” other material and cause it to be radioactive as well?

For instance, I recently watched [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ8cYheR5xo) video, and during it they explain that the bodies of the technicians at the SL-1 site had to be autopsied at great length from the doctors, because their bodies were still emitting extreme radioactivity.

how does radioactive material cause other, normally benign, material to take on radioactivity?

I build nuclear reactors for a living and you wouldn’t believe how strict testing is as we leave the plant to assure we don’t spread radioactive dust all over town. Looks like the other guys have addressed the dangers pretty well already.
