The line

sink.on("radiation", function(){console.log("¡Detected!")})

says: "when sink object emit radiation event, do something"

But your event emitter is the source object.

So, to take an event from source, and act on sink, you must write something
like

source.on("radiation", function () { sink.dosomething() });
