The background radiation did go up, but saying "there was hardly any radiation anywhere" is wrong. Today's steel (and background radiation) is pretty much back to pre-nuke levels. Low-background steel Background radiation
It is also worth nothing that we can make low or no radiation-contaminated steel, it's just really expensive and hard and happens in very low quantities.
