I doubt this, although I'd be interested to be corrected.
For instance, the iRobot-developed PackBot, which is "military" in that thousands are used in Iraq and Afghanistan, has no rad-hardening that I know of (and no rad-hard version). (Packbots were used at Fukishima.)
I can't imagine why there would be a rad-hard Packbot, because doing so would involve trading off performance like weight or processing power. Here's the best link I could find:

I also found some mentions of radiation-hardened robots sent from the US to Japan, but always with the same wording, and then no mentions of their being used.
