Coal ash is relatively rich in radioisotopes compared to environment, and they're what counts, not the rays.

Nope, radioisotopes are the delivery method for the ionizing radiation, it's the high levels of radiation does the damage. Radioisotopes are bits of matter, radiation is energy, but I can see why you would be confused.
