Proponents of nuclear power like to take situations out of context to make silly comparisons... You may not be wearing a suit for the immediate radiation level

Proponents of nuclear power like to take situations out of context to make silly comparisons... You may not be wearing a suit for the immediate radiation level (which may or may not fluctuate), or not even for most things you touch accidentally, but rather for the freak speck of dirt or whatever that is actually contaminated, can make you sick or travel outside the perimeter on the bottom of your boots. So registering a low radiation level outside the plant does not mean the area is safer than a hot spring.
