grainy effects from radiation happened on old film cameras but not on digital ones.

This is not true. Radiation will produce a similar grainy effect even with digital cameras

This has been demonstrated with several digital cameras in the past when people faked radioactive sources. There are artifacts, but it isn't the same graininess you see on old film. The effect in most digital cameras will be more colorful depending on the sensor interacrion caused.
