Tossed up between posting here and WSS forum, so I hope this was the right choice.

Anyways I've seen a lot o hype about the monolithic water filters, most notoriously available from cheaperthandirt (part camp-354) for camping/emergency water filtration. They seem to hold up to basic scrutiny and I haven't heard of many problems but the one answer I have been unable to find focuses on the "N" of NBC. Not that it is terribly likely (and not that I wouldn't want to be gone ASAP) but there is a facility in this general region and would like to be somewhat prepared in case of contamination. Do anybody have any info on the filtration this might offer for radiological contamination?
 
From what I understand, the best you'd get would be to filter out any particulate matter that is giving off alpha radiation. If the water itself has been irradiated, I'm not sure you could filter it out. hopefully someone else has some more info on the risks involved.
