A nuclear licenced site? What do you do Banner???
Were there big bright orange flashing lights and sirens going off as men in black drab and gothmariners gather around you!?

It's probably pretty safe. There's a good page somewhere by David (I can't spell his surname just now) Boettecher which details how to deal with Radium dials.
My watchmaker has a meter for measuring radiation and used this on an ex-military Omega which I sent him recently. Apparently safe to wear, despite the mounds of Radium lume.

So I caused a contamination alert at a Nuclear Licensed site today. Who knew that the Girard Perregaux alarm features a radium dial which has been sitting on my wrist happily emitting about 10 x the radiation level that they consider alert-worthy? #csb #notgonnastopwearingit
