Just as a little fun fact, burning coal for power releases more radiation into the environment than using a nuclear plant for power.
Coal fly ash is actually pretty radioactive. It’s a hazardous material for many reasons.
To answer your question specifically, the radiation levels are very low, *and* water is an incredible radiation shield. There’s practically no danger.
