"Regular" movers cannot touch the chemicals - the university had to hire specialized folks, approved to handle all sorts of chemical products.
on top of that, radioactive items needed to be moved by even more specialized guys - in this case, they are from our university and in charge of supervising all our handling of radioactive materials. IN our lab in particular, we have to use a lot of radioactive iron, so they will be busy moving anything that was in contact with that.
believe it or not, a fire happened already on the second day of the move, but not with our lab - it was an organic chemistry lab, some nasty fluid leaked out of a bottle, and next thing you knew, a fire!
