Does AC remove radiation from the inside air? Or is it the same as being outside...

I think that probably all depends what type of air filter you have. There are different grades of HEPA filter that can catch smaller particles. Any particles smaller than .3 microns or any gases will make it past most HEPA filters though. Also, some AC units have an option to recirculate air.

particulate filtration as radio-nucleotide prophylaxis

the use of any hepa type filtration is of definite advantage for radio-nucleotide reduction ~ conventional a/c filtration as installed uses fiber-glass "filter" which is as original design intent just to keep insects and twigs from the blower motor & has deleterious effects of it's own

And it wouldnt be radiation your trying to remove from the air, it would be the radionuclides that emit radiation.
