If it's actively glowing blue it means it's under water producing Cherenkov radiation and the water should shield you from the alpha particles.

My favorite podcast did an episode about that!
Highly recommend if you like leftism, and also want to listen to an engineer talk at length about what this blue glowing powder is, the series of bad decisions that led to some scrap collectors finding it, and the even longer series of even worse decisions people made regarding what to do with this blue glowing powder
You can skip the Goddamn News if you want, discussion of the spicy rocks starts at 20:28
I love Well There's Your Problem, highly recommend that episode as well
