When Fitzsimmons and Yoyo went to England and invaded that Hydra complex, they showed a "Radiation Area" sign. Yoyo made a comment about radiation poisoning, and Fitz checked the area dose rates and made a comment to the effect of "you'll find more radiation in a dentist's office."
This is absolutely right! I work in nuclear power and see these signs every day. The amount of radiation at these sites (it kind of looked like they were filming at a power plant) is slim to none. Additionally, the threshold for the level of radiation for these signs to be put up is incredibly low.
I appreciate that the show took a realistic take on this. Many forms of media (Mass Effect Andromeda comes to mind) grossly blow out of proportion the amount and the effect of certain levels of radiation have on the body.
