Oh, the problem is you are using the wrong word. You mean radioactive
isotopes, not radiation. Removing radiation from something would be
like trying to remove light from something.
I don't know why radioactive isotopes would not be able to be scrubbed
off. Iodine 131 for example is slightly water soluble, and highly
soluble in alcohol. Other isotopes, such as technetium and strontium,
are not water soluble and would simply settle out as particles, and thus
are easily removed mechanically.
The only thing that would be difficult to wash off is if you had a very
strong neutron source, like it was put inside a reactor for a while, and
you got neutron activation of the copper in the coils. But if you did
that you would already be dead from the exposure to the high level of
neutron bombardment.
