In The Netherlands the Dutch authorities have made it very clear that they consider these kind of instruments very dangerous and warn people about the danger of the radium content. When the RNethAF recovers an aircraft from WWII they always hire (very expensive) radiation specialist to deal with this matter. The reason behind this is not just safety but more a means to show the Dutch population that the recovery of these wartime wrecks is highly dangerous and that only they are allowed to deal with them. Nothing more than a PR-excercise. Same thing about asbestos.
