This is a misconception. Radioactivity is nuclear decay. The
production of x-rays has nothing to do with radioactive decay.

Do you have documentable credibility in this area, or is this yet another
area of speculation, based upon your nuclear powered flight simulator?

universally accepted as one of the initial, pioneering steps in the
discovery of radioactivity.

One claim the French can make without contest is the discovery of the

Is it? I should think that it helped towards an understanding of
electromagnetic radiation and the similarity of all frequencies of
radiation, but I don't know that it was connected in any clear way to
radioactive decay. They are two completely different processes.
