I was confused by by your statement "Plutonium RTG sources don't glow, but they have attracted fatal attention by being hot" as plutonium RTG's are actually safe to hold in your hands (The Martian treated it wrong) and are NOT a strong source of external radiation. Your link is to a Strontium-90 RTG which is very radioactive indeed!!
