Surprise, surprise. oxygenating doesn't REMOVE a blessed thing!! These radioisotopes are dissolved in the water; IONS. And ordinary filters will NOT filter ions.
Fortunately the molecules in question are LARGE and easily separated by the R.O. membrane or, better yet, captured by ION EXCHANGE "filters" which act much like the resin beds in water softeners. I say "better" because the radioisotopes -- crud -- are "captured" by the ionic attraction of the zeolite resins in the filters -- same same as in water softeners. Difference is that those "filters" are generally not "regenerateable", so the crud stays in, and is disposed with, the cartridge rather than being flushed to waste as in the R.O..
But the cattle drinking those hundreds / thousands of gallons of water are what filter the water and the meat packers and dairy industry become distributors for the accumulated radioactive crud.
