after the source was traced to the basement of a nearby house, where an unknown material was being stored in old bottles in a wooden box. Godzilla's energy drink?

Components for that bomb they supposedly exploded in Korea in 1945 or it’s an Aum Shin Rikyo safehouse.

In the 40’s there were many cases of radioactive materials in commerce.
In the USA there was a ceramic “sponge” that had thorium in it. You were supposed to put it in a pitcher of water to drink, and the energy from the “thoriated water” was supposed to make you healthy.
And we all know about Fiestaware plates.
This says a lot about the sensitivity and resolution of their gamma spectrometer! Probably a cryogenic ultrapure gemanium crystal (guess).

Uranium Oxide was an old ingredient in glass bottles before WWII. It gave them a ‘Vaseline’ color, and the name ‘Vaseline Glass’..........

Interesting. Probably stuff like that all over the place that never gets detected. I’d like to know which isotope it was that let them know it was not related to Fukushima.

This is the problem when you start looking for radioactivity! You find it in the strangest places. Coleman Gasoline Lantern Mantels come to mind.

Thank you for posting this update. I was becoming worried that you were just looking for the panic stories.
I wonder how much of the other stuff is false alarm or always-there-but-finally-measured?
