Yes, if it’s particulate. Of course, the greater the cfm the system generates, the greater the chance particles will be moved through it. If you’re speaking of just the radiation without its being carried by particles, the answer is that many types of harmful radiation can be stopped only by very thick lead walls. The ventilation system would be irrelevant.
