Roger on the glow in the dark factor.
Actually Concrete sequestration is one way to get rid of radioactive isotopes. Although I don't want it in my home/workplace. I'm pretty sure that in piers and Beams under the foundation, or in the foundation itself, it wouldn't be a factor. As it is coated and smoothed out in other layers of sealant/epoxy before other layers of tile or carpet are put on it.
Good to know it is looked into.
Lots of low level radioactive stuff floating around that nobody asks any questions about.
