The image for this perk is the same as the icon for the RobCo processor widget, a quest item in Fallout 3.
This perk is an alternative to the Lead Belly perk, but does not affect irradiated food. Note that high levels of radiation resistance may be temporary (boosted by Rad-X and clothing items), while the player may need to drink on a more regular basis, especially in hardcore mode. RadResist 70%, drinking dirty water (Rad+1) → radiation +1. RadResist 69%, drinking dirty water (Rad+1) → no radiation. RadResist 15%, drinking dirty water (Rad+5) → no radiation. Due to the way the perk's effects are calculated (1 - (Player.GetActorValue RadResist / 100)), it is less effective at higher levels of radiation resistance. There is no on-screen message when drinking from these sources. It has a lesser effect when drinking from irradiated faucets, toilets, urinals and water ponds. The amount of radiation removed is dependent on the player's current radiation resistance level. The message "Implant Y-3 removed ingested radiation" will appear on-screen. Removes radiation taken when drinking dirty or irradiated water, soft drinks, and alcohol from the Pip-Boy inventory. It can then be purchased from the Auto-Doc in The Sink for 12,000 caps. This perk is available to the player after finding the Auto-Doc Upgrade: Implant Y-3 in the Z-9 Crotalus DNA preservation lab.
