Those poor radioactive kids were so eerily beautiful, in the context of the story. Kind of jarring to realize that they would all be about sixty years old now.
Also, found this bit of trivia via Wikipedia:
"The children's names, Henry, Victoria, Elizabeth, George, Richard, Charles, William, Anne and Mary are based, perhaps intentionally, on those of English Kings and Queens."

means they are still alive and hopefully well and content in their lives today.
Considering that everyone they have extended contact with either has to wear a radiation protection suit or die of radiation poisoning, probably not. The story is a tragedy. It's not meant to have any sort of happy ending for anyone.
