Would it be possible for life to evolve on a planet with intense solar radiation, to the point where they can thrive in direct contact?

If you look at one of my previous questions, I ask about a tidally locked planet and it has come to my understanding that such a planet would be under a lot of radiation from the sun. So I'm curious if larger lifeforms could evolve to survive in such conditions if it were happening for billions of years. Specifically life that lives on the surface of the planet, not avoiding the radiation.

I am not an expert on different types of radiation but I know that in Chernobyl, life has managed to thrive within its radiation zone so could the same be theoretically possible but on a much larger, more intense scale? If so how would evolve to do so? Or would life barely be able to sustain itself in those conditions?
