During this time period Radium was used for watch dials and painted on by young women who licked the tips of their radium laced paintbrushes to keep a nice point. Thousands of these girls died horrible deaths. I wouldn't be surprised that there'd be some radium at the former site. I found a nice piece of carnotite next to the RGS gradeafter Vanadium was supposedly cleaned up...
