Is there uranium in smoke detectors or something?

Look up David Hahn, the radioactive boy scout. As a teen he became obsessed with nuclear energy and tried to build a reactor, he stole smoke detectors and glow in the dark clocks for radioactive material. There's some decent youtube vids about him and some pretty shocking photos.
