They may be basing it on
this guy's earlier discovery of radioactive rays in general, which were what inspired Marie Curie to look into radioactivity and isolate the different elements which might be causing it. I agree that radium and polonium were pretty clearly identified by her work, not his, though she and her husband did it in France, not Poland.
