yes and no
Yes, only on depth 25 (rarely) and depths 26 and deeper (more frequently).
But, in case you don't know, there is now a good mission to farm for Radiants: Dreams and Nightmares.

@Bopp
how many do you get per run of Dreams and Nightmares?

Judging from what I can see, 20~30. So about a dozen runs of DaN will yield you enough Radiant FC for a 5* weapon. FSC is superior if you want the crowns needed for the crafting, since no mobs in DaN actually drop anything (if you can count void as drops)

Look at the "FC5" column of this table:

not especially difficult
Dreams and Nightmares is not especially difficult. I mean, it's not as hard as Shadowplay, Heart of Ice, or even King of Ashes. If you search Google for something like "dreams nightmares site:forums.spiralknights.com" (without the quotation marks), you will find many threads, including some guides.
The short version is: Plow through the first two levels, using a gun to hit switches, skipping as many fights as possible. In the third level, skip all fighting until the last fight. In that fight, break the blocks, then circle the border of the room counterclockwise. Some people like guns, but I prefer bombs. Watch out for the lichen projectiles.

Why does Grey Havens expect
Why does Grey Havens expect everyone to replay Dream & Nightmares forever just for rads?
And why is the answer yes?

There was never a time where
There was never a time where radiants were only available only through FSC, FSC was just most convenient at that time.
Midnight-Dj, I'm calling you out:
"Judging from what I can see, 20~30. So about a dozen runs of DaN will yield you enough Radiant FC for a 5* weapon. FSC is superior if you want the crowns needed for the crafting, since no mobs in DaN actually drop anything (if you can count void as drops)"
(Quoted your post so you can't scurry away and edit it)
This doesn't add up even at 30 rads/run. A dozen runs at 30 rads/run is 360 rads, 93 short of the required amount. And no, you can't count on double level ups or forge boxes.
Instead of silly guesses, let's use some math:
453 radiants required to heat a 5* item to level 10. 21.75 radiants per DaN run. 15 minutes per DaN run on average (12 if you are good enough).
Put it together, you get about 21 DaN runs, or about 5 hours of grinding to get your 5* item to level 10. You could spread that out to 4 runs per day for a week, and do it calmly. After all, SK is casual.
Honestly, I would rather support the developers and save myself time instead of grind the mission. Win win there....only if your time is valuable. Good luck with the farm.

360 radiants is sufficient for the second forge option, which requires 302 radiants (assuming no fails happened), so you're wrong.

Radiant fire crystals are a fun and enjoyable game mechanic.
