SentinelNorth Brunswick • South Brunswick Radiation from watches leads to safety concerns By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

adioactive emissions were found at a North Brunswick storage facility R where antique watches were stored during a routine patrol by police officers last week. The county and state Hazardous Materi­ als (HAZMAT) units confirmed the pres­ ence of radium-226 isotopes at a single storage unit on Carolier Lane on Feb. 1, ac­ cording to police. An investigation revealed that the stor­ age unit contained numerous antique watches that had dials painted with radiolu- minescent paint, which contained radium and allowed them to glow in the dark. The North Brunswick Police Depart­ ment, the New Jersey State Police and the FBI determined there was no connection to terrorism. By the afternoon of Feb. 2, HAZMAT SCOTT FRIEDMAN removed all hazardous material and opened Students from Judd Elementary School’s fourth- and fifth-grade chorus present “The Adventures of Annie' In North Brunswick on Jan. 29. the area to the public.
