An employee of a nearby university had brought a Geiger counter to the school for demonstration purposes. This object, during a demonstration, began to signal the presence of a radioactive source inside the school that was later discovered to be a sample of 226 radium contained in the school's ancient collection of scientific instruments, which was located on the top floor.
