The negative would fade out rather quickly if exposed to natural light, e.g. if left outside.

It is incorrect to say that radiation has no effect. The effect is just greatly reduced.

Analogous to the "don't project slides for months on end" - I would not stick it on the radiation source and leave it there for months, but it's not an amount you need to worry about for a reasonable number of trips (let's say less than 100) through the scanner.
