eli5 can nuclear radiation effect/mutate germs or viruses? if so, are there any examples?

Yes, ionising radiation can cause mutations in any life form.
No, there aren’t any “examples” in the sense you’re after, because 99% of the time in real life mutations either have no noticeable affect or just kill the effected cell. It’s not going to create a superbug.
