The main railway station in Edinburgh (that's in Scotland), Waverley
Station, is built into solid granite. I was told once that if a nuclear
plant had the same ambient radioactivity (or whatever they call it) the
plant would be evacuated and shut down for a very loooong time :-)

Granite is, apparently, a naturally radioactive mineral.
