Uranium hunter follows trail of tiles 



By Alan Boyle

MSNBC 



SAN FRANCISCO, May 30 —  Walter Wagner can see the

radioactivity as he walks the streets of San

Francisco: He stretches out his Geiger counter to a

decorative tile on the facade of an apartment building

— and sure enough, gets a chorus of clicks. Those

sounds are what motivate the self-appointed sleuth’s

campaign to root out radiation sources most people

don’t know exist: the vintage uranium-glazed tiles in

their kitchens and bathrooms, stairways and schools.
