      It depends on how much radiation you’re exposed to. In fact, there are some really interesting studies that are looking at how small amounts of radiation could maybe be good for you. It’s a really interesting area of research at the moment for me.
      If you look at places like Chernobyl where there was the bad explosion in the power station, now, 30 years on, plants and animals there have actually come back better than ever.
