If by “radiation” you mean the ionizing radiation found as a result of radioactivity, it’s entirely possible. It’s actually already happened in Cryptococcus Neoformans, a fungus that’s been found growing in the shattered remains of Chernobyl reactor 4 that seems to be using the radiation there as a food source. (Please note that I don’t mean the remains of the reactor building, I mean it’s growing in the highly radioactive remains of the *reactor itself*.)
