Some human population will remain for experiments or work in special conditions like radioactive mines. But bad things and population decline is likely.
Radioactivity is much more of a problem for people than for machines.
consumer electronics aren’t radiation hardened
computer chips for satellites, nuclear industry, etc. are though
nuclear industry puts some electronics (EX:cameras) in places with radiation levels that would be fatal to humans in hours to minutes.
In terms of instrumental value, humans are only useful as an already existing work force
we have arm/legs/hands, hand-eye coordination and some ability to think
sufficient robotics/silicon manufacturing can replace us
humans are generally squishier and less capable of operating in horrible conditions than a purpose built robot.
Once the robot “brains” catch up, the coordination gap will close.

then it’s a question of price/availability
