Yes, some lantern mantles, particularly those made before the 1960s, contained radioactive materials like thorium to enhance their luminosity. However, modern mantles are typically made from non-radioactive materials and are considered safe for use. It's important to check the specifications if you're concerned about radioactivity in older lanterns. Always handle any older equipment with caution and follow safety recommendations.
