Exposure to small amounts of radiation won’t hurt. The benefit is debatable.

What is not debatable is that at 3 Grey or so total body irradiation, you are going to die a slow drawn out death.

I don’t know the science, but I’ve commented about the radium dials in watches years ago .... what percentage of what was happening back then ?

Or become Spiderman, one.

That 3 gray certain death would assume no medical treatment. Hospital low-tech of IV fluids and transfusions can quite easily manage the lethal effects and make a 300 Rad exposure (I despise SI units) quite survivable.
