I’d personally translate it to the closest word they have.
If I decided they didn’t have a word that was directly equivalent, in this case I’d use the closest word, “light-emitting”.
“cancer-light”

You’re not getting downvoted. ChatGPT is getting downvoted, and you just happened to be in the way.
These guys, the 2nd google link after AI, say that a 3540 Ci/130 TBq source would be around 500 Sv/h at 30 cm. Even Wikipedia says 45 Sv/h at 1m
Oh thank god! I guess this is the “find the right answer by posting the wrong answer.”

“cancer-light”
Disease-light might be the best medieval equivalent, actually.

What if it was stored in a fridge
Isotopes only have a “worst by” date unfortunately

“Death-light”, maybe? Depending on the intensity.

There’s always a relevant xkcd.
With 3,174 comics and counting - it’s becoming more and more probable!
Just like how The Simpsons can be credited with predicting a whole bunch of things; volume is key!

If it’s actively glowing blue it means it’s under water producing Cherenkov radiation and the water should shield you from the alpha particles.
But if it’s a blue flash, that’s a completely different effect and there was a criticality accident and you’re probably going to die.

That is a really good question…
I feel like radiation should have some sort of translatable element as a generic radiant danger, but for the rest… if it doesn’t make sense without context in the source language, does it make sense after ‘comprehend language’? Kinda feels like we need a ‘comprehend science’ or something if they wanted to grasp the idea of specific elements and units of measure.
Researchers came up with a warning symbol for this exact scenario“In the aftermath of repeated incidents where the public was exposed to radiation from orphan sources, a common factor reappeared: individuals who encountered the source were unfamiliar with the trefoil radiation warning symbol, and were in some cases not familiar with the concept of radiation. During a study in the early 2000s, it was found that only 6% of those surveyed in India, Brazil and Kenya could correctly identify the meaning of the trefoil symbol.”

hey DM what’s the range of mending? as long as it’s over a few kilometers i should be fine

Hmm, I think as a DM I would roll an arcana check to see if the wizard would conceivably have heard of radiation from arcane studies. It’s reasonable to assume people with arcane knowledge would be the first to hear about the strange metal chunks that everyone keeps dying around. One of them would have had to have come up with a word, if not some variation on “death cursed”
Sickglow stones?

It’s only glowing blue because there are orcs nearby.

I am curious where this drop and run source comes from.
Typically, they’re sealed in a shielded box, where you can open a small windows that the gamma say can escape and are used for field radiography when inspecting bridge/pipeline solder. Definitely not a drop and run thing

If your are very lucky, you can find one by the side of the road in Australia.

I’m guessing it’s short for “If you don’t know what this is and you find it outside of any shielded box, shit has gone very wrong and you should not be near this, let alone touch it”. The probably best way to get people to stop touching it is to suggest that it poses an acute threat, hence the urgency in the phrasing “drop and run”.
So if you’re operating a device wherein it’s properly contained, you don’t see the label. If you’re removing it while protected appropriately, you already know the label doesn’t apply to you. If you know how to handle it, you don’t need instructions.
