Hi there:

Who? What? ....CNN...?  It must be for some of their investigative reports =
"apocalyptic series".  As a matter of fact, the last one had the same name.

Back to the question.  There used to be some also in the Czech Republic,
around town of Jachymov.  However, my memory is short on details.  I visited
the place as a student, and something tells me that they also use
radium-rich-mud-bath treatments for patient.   
If needed I can look for contacts. 

Best regards,
  Miroslav
