The potassium taken up by banana plants during growth has radioactive isotopes which are concentrated in the fruiting bodies.

It's well-enough documented that there's an informal unit of measurement for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

Bananas genuinely are more radioactive than most other foods due to their high potassium content and the relatively high frequency of radioactive isotopes of potassium.

Most of the respondents to your comment focused on the bananas themselves as being the issue, but they are actually missing the point somewhat. Bananas do have more potassium and are more radioactive than other fruit, but actually, its the "putting them inside you" which is the much larger issue. The inverse square law applies to all forms of radiation and you've effectively reduced that to 0 by ingesting the thing which is radioactive. So instead of absorbing a small fraction of the total radiation emitted by the thing over time, you are exposed to ALL of the radiation emitted by the thing over time. Not to mention any radiation given off the plates is not even going to be able to penetrate your skin or clothes; whereas the banana is already inside you.

Also, the green glow isn’t from radioactive decay, it’s the uranium fluorescing under the UV light stationed just out of frame.

Probably, the dangerous part is working with the powders before melting. I haven’t looked into it much but uranium was a common glass ingredient until the government grabbed it all to make bombs.

Yeah, I quit smoking and switched to snorting uranium glass powder instead

Not quite,

Radioactive substances don't actually glow visibly themselves...

Uranium glass fluoresces under UV, and tritium vials and radium paint contain phosphers that convert radiation to visible light.
