From the abstract of the paper, the mechanism for radioprotection is the antioxidant properties of this particular mixture of Mg, orthophosphate, and this short peptide.
"Mn2+ coordinated by orthophosphate (Pi), metabolites, or peptides acts as a superoxide dismutase (SOD), and these Mn antioxidant complexes are universally accumulated in extremely radiation-resistant cell types across the tree of life."
However, the paper is really just studying the chemical properties of the mixture to understand why it works as a better antioxidant than just Mg+Pi
