Read Victor Sheymov's book 'Tower of Secrets'. He was a KGB officer and
(hopefully) you were not. He makes the point repeatedly throughout.
Victor Sheymov - Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Sheymov>

because of the use of radioactive sources inside the secure communications
enclosures to swamp R/F signals with noise.
