Kerosene?  Bah!  In modern Russia the mighty atom powers all! 

Maybe these folks were just looking for a new radio 'battery'...

They aren’t kidding about these people being sick or even dead.  The LD 50/30 rule of thumb is that a dose of 400 to 450 REM in a short period of time will cause death within 30 days for 50% of those exposed.  If those sources were radiating at up to 1000 Roentgens, they picked up a significant dose while stripping them for metal.

It is a dream of mine to have a self contained reactor power my transmitter, kinda like Doc Brown's Mr. Fusion :)

1000 roentgens per hour never hurt no one.
