can i work in meters with radiance and get accurate results?, or is it limit to feets?

In principle your units can be arbitrary -- the RADIANCE code isn't hardwired to meters or feet. Having said that, it's up to you to make sure they're *consistent* with the other data you supply, for instance the light source emission. Note that radiometric units like radiance and irradiance are defined in terms of meters^2.
