…Emergencies.

Called the "StemRad 360 Gamma" belt, it shields the body from the effects of gamma radiation.

"It doesn't look like cutting edge technology, but this belt could be a life saver for first responders to a nuclear accident.

Interesting concept.

What if you could pair additional shielding up with an exo-skeleton for disaster recovery work? It would not need an internal power supply (you could use an oversized extension cord for this application) and give first responders or clean up teams a safer way of dealing with radioactivity issues.

Gamma rays? Paging Doctor Banner…

Some kind of plasma window technology?

Uhh, having worked with radiation all my life, I will not be trying that anytime soon. The best protection is still distance from source, shielding and time exposure.

Probably works best when you can get Cardan, Nitro, or Novikov to upgrade it to exploit it's full potential….. wink
