History of the radiation symbol:

Fun to read that stuff. The biohazard story sounds good and at the moment has no challengers. But once I saw the image that I posted, I believe the film reel is the true inspiration for the nuke symbol.
I think you are probably correct. I posted the two links just to show the "official" story. The explanation is rather lame, I think.
If you go to my first link, they show another symbol:
"Figure 3: The new supplementary radiation warning symbol (ISO 21482)"
What is this figure? A black and red pyramid. Hmmm....
Yeah, and the other one reminded me of the insert on a 45 single, the thing that you would put in the center of a vinyl record so it fit on your record player, except as a triangle.
You're right -- especially the third version that is pyramid-shaped. Compare it to the 45 rpm adaptor:
