A lead tux for all kinds of neuculear mishaps.
[link]
|
| |
Wouldn't you look a bit peuculear? |
|
| |
I dont know, what I do know though is that when the
world ends I want to be lookin sharp, and I want to last
long enough for people to notice that I dressed up for the
occasion. |

It would be more universally effective if the suit were charcoal impregnated rather than lead-lined. |

. . . and of victomic bombs. |

...leave a pretty corpse? |

+ for the title. Pun-derful. |

A lead tux is really *not* going to protect you from all kinds of nucular mishaps, only the ones that do not hit you directly. And even then you'd have to have a bottled air supply handy. |

A thin layer of lead, that one might wear around won't do much good for hard gamma. |
|
| |
For example, locomotives and manned robots used in the nuclear aircraft engine and rocket engine programs had liquid filled windows about a meter thick and many centimeters of lead elsewhere. The robot weighed some 80 tons, and the locos were probably heavier than their unshielded counterparts by about as much. |
|
| |
Even with that level of shielding, they had to wait to approach the experiments because the dose rate was so high, 10^6 rad/ hr @ 30meters, and could not linger. Note that dirty bombs and conventional nuclear explosives won't have rates nearly as high, though, but an accident like Chernobyl could approach them. |
|
| |
In short no wearable, human bearable lead suit would do as much good as running away from a hot area as fast as one can to limit exposure time. All you'd need is a respirator and a Tyvek suit to avoid internal contamination. |

I'd love to see what a Cavalli nuclear-resistant outfit would look like. |
|
| |
How about "The Young Ones" approach, paint yourself white to reflect the blast? |
|
| |
Curie Vuitton? Louis Fission? Rads Lauren? Half-life Boss? I'm thinking there's potential for plenty of post-apocalyptic designer-label merchandise houses. <blatant call to arms> Help me out with some more names here, 'Bakers. </bcta>. |

'Hard Gamma'" is a great name for a drink, a band or a dog. |
