The intent here is not to show how harmful eating a banana is but instead showing how harmless living nearby a nuclear powerplant.
If eating one banana only is comparable to living 50km from a nuclear powerplant for one entire year, then clearly the radiation you get from the powerplant is ridiculously small.
That fact that all this is only 1% of the radiation dose you'd otherwise get due to background radiation should only help bringing the point home.
