I'd be fairly stunned if time travel came into the mix here, but I don't rule it out mostly because of how DL has talked about s3 in interviews with them taking risks, etc. And also because it's pretty hard to reconcile the last scene in episode 2 if that is indeed present timeline, because even if Matt had corresponded with Kevin Sr. and passed along the Book of Kevin, it'd still be too soon for there to be followers of this nature, who for some reason, already suspect that Kevin is in Australia and is much older.
I also think that the "Does the name Kevin mean anything to you?" nun from the future Nora scene is probably part of the same group who drowned that older fake Kevin, maybe?

I feel like the radiation thing probably isn't legit (or if it is, it won't be too relevant to what happens in the end game). It seems more to me like a plot device to get them to Australia where Kevin Sr. already is. Sort of how like in s2 people started speculating about the MIT guys who bought Nora's house, when really it was just a plot device to get Nora $3m to be able to buy a house in Jarden. Also for the radiation machine to be part of the larger plan, that would almost necessarily mean that an official, scientific explanation for The Departure would be revealed and that ain't happening.
