There is actually some basis in fact for Green Tea's ability to help with radiation poisoning.
Green Tea and other forms are high in anti-oxidants which fight oxidation of the various enzymes, proteins, etc. Oxidation of these things leads to health related problems caused by malformed enzymes etc.
Nuclear Radiation, even radiation in general, is one of the causes of oxidation, and because tea fights it, tea is to an extent capable of keeping ones body healthy while being bombarded by radiation.
Now I'm not saying that drinking lots of Green Tea will let you walk around Chernobyl safely, but it will help reverse some of the damage if you do get inadvertently exposed.
