    I might have been mistaken about the color of the cerium oxide being the indicator of radioactive isotopes being present as it appears that all naturally occuring cerium oxide has this present. I don't think it's really an issue but the stuff does contain thorium (uranium) non-the-less. I would guess that whatever the levels are of this stuff would be different in each differing type of cerium compound available. I'm no scientist though, just remembered reading about it before and just did a quick Google search to find this info. I'm sure there's a lot more to find about it if you dug deeper.
