Using traditional filtration techniques, you will be able to filter out radioactive particulate, which is the bulk of radioactive emitters. A few short lived gasses may be present in the water, but they decay rapidly.

For maximum safety, drink well water or bottled water.

For a an explanation of radioactivity : Things don't BECOME radioactive. You don't have "zomg a radioactive apple!". No, you have an apple that just HAPPENS to have some cesium, strontium, or other radioactive material on it. To remove the radioactivity, you simply do what you would do to remove any kind of dust : clean it with something...a rag, water, duct tape...take your pick.
