I take your point mjlear I had copied the text from the wikipedia page which stated "the hoop stress, or stress in the radial direction". Hoop stresses follow the circumferential direction not the radial direction so I am inclined to agree with you. I have deleted the reference to radial direction and up issued the calculation to rev 03. I have reported the issue to the wikipedia page.
