If I recall correctly, the largest release of radioactive materials routinely comes from deep water volcanism. Seemed like it was orders of magnitude larger than these releases, but I can’t locate the numbers at present.

You are correct.

Radioactivity is a normal component of our environment.

In fact, Uranium mines are usually located in or near near what once was a volcanic vent (especially and underwater volcanic vent) or in an area where normal geologic process has deposited them in concentrated form from a volcanic vent .
