Studies indicate that the lack of human hunting, agriculture and development has a more positive impact on animal numbers than radiation has a negative one.

Well, yeah…
Wild animals don’t survive to old age, they survive until they can’t escape predator and/or can’t catch prey.
They die from something else besides radiation, but any mutations that mitigate the damage will quickly spread. With the absence of humans, it doesn’t take much until the radiation just isn’t a big deal comparitovely
Yup. Radiation’s a much more pesky problem when you have an 80 year long lifespan. 10 to 15 years? (if that) Not so much.
