Radium is a radioactive element which emits an ionizing radiation. By definition, ionizing radiation ionizes nearby atoms (strips one or more electrons from them). This leaves the atom (Radium or others) with a positive charge (an attractor of electrons). As a stray electron finds this newly created ion and reenters the atom's orbitals, it releases photons whose energies are related to the orbitals. These released photons are the "Shining" observed.
