Description

The print nuclear contaminatino script produces a JSON with the results, in which the na value is set to "N/A". This should be replaced with a valid JSON missing value (null?) so that loading of the JSON for downstream processing does not raise errors (strings vs floats).

Research direction

The issue does not name the script file; search the repository for the nuclear-contamination printer and its na JSON field. Read the relevant script and run its available output check, then verify the missing value is valid JSON and downstream loading no longer treats it as a string among numeric results.
