Severe misunderstanding.
- Early radium dial watches and instruments glowed green where the "radium" paint had been applied. People assumed that was the radium glow. Actually radium does not glow at all, what gave the green glow was a phosphor (not phosphorus that is an element that burns easily, phosphors are compounds that glow when "excited" - the brightest and cheapest phosphors glow green) excited by the radiation emitted by the radium.
- The X-ray Fluoroscope used a phosphor screen that glowed green when excited by the X-rays.
- So people then assumed anything radioactive glowed green. (I almost wish, but humans have no sense that can detect radioactivity.)
Hope that helps.
