The following is quoted from the book Culinary Treasures of Japan: The Art of Making and Using Traditional Japanese Foods by John and Jan Belleme. The Japanese are currently facing impossible times with the earthquake, tsunami and now their nuclear plants leaking radioactive materials. Of all the nations to have this happen to them, perhaps the Japanese will have the best chance of being able to deal with the radiation, health wise. There are a few foods that help human bodies deal with radiation which are commonly eaten in Japan, one of these is seaweed and the other is miso soup. (Some other foods include spirilina, other algaes, green and black tea, reishi mushrooms, burdock root, ginseng, ginko, and a gut full of beneficial probiotics–also avoid sugar and processed foods). More detailed information on how to detoxify radiation poisoning and other toxic conditions here.
