I believe they actually do have suits that are radiation resilient. They probably exaggerate their ability.
so called alpha radiation is mostly absorbed by skin and is only dangerous when ingested, for example when breathing air that contains ash from the fallout. In such a case a suit protects you from that to a degree. Gamma radiation however will blast right through. Beta radiation can be shielded maybe with such a suit, but you still get the gamma radiation, which is best blocked by lead afaik, and 1 cm of lead (fucking heavy stuff) is needed to halve the dose of gamma radiation taken.
they would be 100% walking dead.
