LostCosmonaut Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I want to know more about how it blocks radiation. I'm very skeptical that it's more volume efficient at shielding gamma rays that something like lead. How good most materials are at shielding various kinds of radiation has just about fuck-all to do with their chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well, blocking radiation comes down to how many nuclei you can throw in front of it, so I agree, I'm a little skeptical on that part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
