The problem with that approach is that the ground isn't radioactive at all, and the commenter fell for disinformation on a local antinucleaer hippy website. The houses were built upwind and uphill from the site, and the EPA, state, and local governments have all hired independent third parties to test for contamination. There is none. The area is now a wildlife refuge, and there is no trace of health effects in animals in the area. I bought a home there after investigating the data myself for over a year. I have a wife and two kids, and would never put them at risk. The amount of radiation Colorado residents are exposed to from the sun and ground minerals dwarfs anything from Rocky Flats. There is zero data to back up the hippy claims. I work with data for a living, and have actually found cancer clusters in the US around refineries and chemical plants.
Tldr: a Geiger counter will show nothing here.
