I would recommend looking at David Johnston's book "Random Number Generators, Principles and Practices" to get a handle on how complicated evaluating RNGs properly is. Radioactive sources combined with conventional circuits/electronics are too slow for practical applications afaik (e.g. incredibly time consuming to prove the performance but not bad in principle). However, I love the banana idea for its inventiveness.
