Not quite,

Radioactive substances don't actually glow visibly themselves...

Uranium glass fluoresces under UV, and tritium vials and radium paint contain phosphers that convert radiation to visible light.

Well all I know is I could see my keychain glow in the dark and it claimed to be uranium.

I guess whatever is in it isn't uranium then. 🤷
