Everyone took it seriously back then. He worked at GE in Syracuse and probably swiped some sheet metal from the plant which is why the GE logo is on the case. We used to take it on trips to Maine where we were finding "uranium" all over the place. My father built this when I was a pup back in the atomic age cold war. Everyone took it seriously back then.

Much humor has revolved around glowing oranges and geiger counters in the basket. The terrorists won't get us with dirty bombs, it'll be with dirty fruit. An apple a day will stop keeping the doctor away, etc. He’s probably referring to the irradiation of fruits and vegetables to kill bacteria.
