You need to do some research on various nuclear particals, waves, and rays. In particular, alpha, beta, and gamma radiation have significantly different physics associated with them. UV color sensitive beads and UV rays might model similar behavior to gamma radiation; however, I know that it won't be any where close to a good model for alpha or beta emissions.
