They dont appear to be. I swam in a radioactive lake for 2 hours (game time) with Dogmeat and he had no problems.

Yeah, I wandered around the SW portion of the map exploring and Piper seemed no worse off for the experience.

Which is lucky, because they couldn't give a [censored] where they are running around. Even if it's off massive drops...

For gameplay purpose, it would be annoying to check your companions or if they refuse to go to certain areas because of radiation. I assume they just take care of themselves with their own radaway or something.

Completely agree. I'm sure Preston gets pushed off cliffs by stealth Institutes, why else would he say "they hurt me pretty bad"?

If you target them in vats, you can see that they're immune to radiation.
