Looking for a control set that works well with Radioactive Assault.

Pyrotechnic control would probably be a good choice. It's not only flashy, which you indicated you wanted, but it helps to patch up the weaknesses of radioactive assault and helps for leaning into the strengths of radioactive assault. They're thematically not that hard to link together, either. 

 

Radioactive assault offers really good single target damage if slotted heavily with procs. But, its two AOEs have really long, slow activation times that offer mediocre damage per second of activation time. However, hypnotizing lights and/or glittering column in pyrotechnic control can be proc'd up to do excellent AOE damage, allowing for the replacement of at least one of the thoroughly mediocre AOEs in radioactive assault. Also, the -to hit in incendiary aura helps to reduce incoming damage, making it easier to lean into procs and damage when slotting radioactive assault. The end result can be a thematically sympatico primary / secondary combination that offers noticeably better than average damage and good survivability.

I second this - Pyro does some solid AoE with proc bombs, has a really chunky -10% to hit on incendiary that can be slotted up to -15% or more if you're into being "softcapped" in melee, and the -res from blastoffs is really pleasant on Radiation's big damage.
