Next Big Future: Time, Distance and Shielding and Radiation Protect...: Three basic concepts apply to all types of ionizing radiation radiation protection (time, distance and shielding). 150 meters of air halv...
How to do radioactive shielding in space? Looking at table in the article, I notice that the denser the material, the less mass is required. ( That will have to be double checked ) If I'm correct, then it would be advantageous, in terms of mass, to use the most dense element of them all for space shielding. It would not shield all forms of radiation, though. I'm thinking gammas, here. Besides those, the heavy cosmic rays may be shielded with an osmium shield, but I'm not sure about that.
