Generally yes but with supervision. In order to get it to work you need some dry ice which isn't too dangerous.

Yes, it's perfectly safe. Just instruct the 13 year old on the safe handling of dry ice and alcohol. There are other ways of tracking subatomic particles that use vacuum pumps and water vapor, but the alcohol and dry ice method is the easiest.

In my opinion its safe.
the amount of dry ice is quite small, and the source of radiation doesn't have to be any more active than the amount found in a common smoke detector.
like the man said, hold the plutonium

What use is a cloud chamber without a particle accelerator?

Sure as long as you're just observing the background radiation and not handling Plutonium.
