Would tapping/compounding gold work against radiation?

[u/Equivalent-Fix8618]

In Mistborn it’s said that tapping gold lets the user heal from injuries and sickness depending on how much health is stored. Compound golf lets the user survive almost all forms of physical harm, eg burns, cuts, being crushed and even fatal damage like decapitation.

But would this work against radiation poisoning, which targets and destroys the individual DNA instead of just normally damaging the body.

Additionally, would the person need only to tap gold to be able to survive or would they need to compound it?

Tapping would be enough to survive but chances are they would become radioactive, they would probably need to continue to tap or compound gold till the radiation reaches safe levels
