Radiation is naturally occurring. Bananas are radioactive, as you've pointed out. Most things radioactive are heavy. Which means they fall out of suspension fairly rapidly. From here some measure of bottom and filter feeders may ingest it. But as a rule, we don't eat those parts. Also, if it builds up to toxic or dangerous radioactive levels, the animal dies. It's at this point, it could enter the food chain of parts we eat.
That said, the levels are extremely low and it can be diluted rapidly. So long as it's "flushed" far enough at sea.

Exactly my point.
Part of the cold war tactics was to cause fear of radiation.
Which is as dumb as fearing water. We need both to live.
Just be wary of quantity
