Static electricity is the movement of electrons.
Nuclear radiation is alpha particles(helium nuclei) and beta particles (electrons and gamma radiation which is a very high frequency ray.
The term radiation means anything traveling in rays which means light and heat and radio waves and microwaves and Xrays and a few others.
So is radiation and static related? There are some points of sameness and many differences.

Not really. Static elec is just excess charges that have built up on some object's surface. Radiation is the emission of some kind of particle (electrons, photons etc) from a source.

Not directly.
Static electricity is nothing more than a separation of charge in space.
Radiation in physics is the process of emitting energy in the form of waves (photons) or particles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation
Some kinds of radiation is charged, including alpha particles and beta particles, and can induce a static separation of charge under specific circumstances. By themselves, however, these are not "static" electricity.

Radiation is a form of transmitting energy. (the other ways are convection and conduction)
Static can build up due to radiation energy, therefore they can be related but it is not in way that can be directly compared.

You probably can't "feel" radiation... It would be entirely possible that you are more sensitive to electricity... The ability to sense electricity is very dependent on the characteristics of your skin... The dominate characteristic would be the thickness of the epidermis...
