Nevermore Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 You guys talking about 5 kn of lead are crazy, a few feet of steel is sufficient protection from a direct nuke. (see the USS JFK or NORAD)
Nevermore Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Antimatter is destroyed by contact with matter. That's pretty fragile.
jdurg Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 You guys talking about 5 kn of lead are crazy, a few feet of steel is sufficient protection from a direct nuke. (see the USS JFK or NORAD) Are you willing to put your life at risk on that? NORAD is based INSIDE of a mountain, therefore it is more than just "a few feet of steel". As for the USS JFK, I guarantee you that it would be vaporized if hit directly with a nuke.

Not to mention steel is not really a good radiation blocker anyway... even if the shield survived you'd be dead. Cheers, Ryan Jones
