Radiation containment & shielding

Firsly radiation containment:

Is it possible to emit highly ionized particles in a (parabole if external, hyperbolic if from various locations or spherical if internal) to the location of nuclear fallout to the extent that the combined ionization equates to zero? Such that, for example, gamma radiation of the same or very similar (possibly higher) energy levels are emitted to the fallout location (prefferably within an instance of the chain reaction caused by the critical mass, but not exclusively, just as damage limitation) so that the instability of the sum of the ionized radiation is counter acted. (In the same regards as nullifying a beam of light in the corresponding thread). I would presume the gamma wavelength be of shorter distance to impact the radiation, although if the radiation is of vary lengths then the device emitting the radiation must equate how much of each wavelength to emit (possibly using statistical bounds) or else the radiation is uniform in its ionization levels and hence can be read before containment (though im guessing it disperses to lower levels relative to the impact site). Also if the radiation doesnt nullify the fallout, but adds to it, is there not some form of EMR that could absorb, counter act, or reverse the electron instability? For instance our ozone and poles stop *some* of the suns gamma radiation from reaching terra firma.

 

Secondly, radiation shielding (en masse):

Very much the same concept as above except here we want to emit the gamma particles internally (from an entire country) in a spherical shape (so just a dome). This is analogous to having the containment device internal to the impact site rather than external containment, although the device should be at the boundy of the sphere here while in containment it should be central.

So the basic idea would be to have a device emit an array of varying gamma wavelengths externally in spherical form. Would these rays hinder any radiation from entering the area? 2 points here...Firstly i mean direct gamma or other EMR from entering the area, secondly what effects would emitting high level waves have on the external? Would unstable chemicals carried by the atmosphere (wind, rain, etc) become more unstable from the process? And given these chemicals are then to pass into the shielded area, would they, after entering and settling then stablise their electron instability through the stable chemicals within area, equating the instability throughout the area over time until the contaminated chemicals are stable at the expense of stable chemicals internal to the area? (Again i guess here that the chemicals that are electonegatively smaller will give up electrons to become isotopes, or chemicals with strong polarity will conbine with the unstable chemicals?).

 

In the first case of shielding an area from external radiation (not contamination), would it be of greater defence against some widespread disaster (such as the entire disintergration of the ozone layer or russia's arsenal being set off by a firework on accident.....etc) than of the second case of contamination via atmospherics?

 

2 final questions regarding the shielding againsts contaminants.

First, is there any chemical process that could be used to absorb and distribute electrons to the unstable contaminants entering the area, such as 2 specially designed chemicals, that are gasses but (by general default) dont interact, yet when unstable chemicals pass in the wind they either react with the chemicals to make new harmless chemicals which can possibly be collected, split and redistributed (leaving behind the unstable electron chemicals, which could be made stable via elecrolysis or such ionization processes) or the other chemical would be a donor that passes electrons and reverts to some stable state (such as overloading a chemical with surplus electrons, given the energy required to add electrons beyond its natural form is within reason, physically and economically viable). Therefor these 2 chemicals act to balance any contaminents entering the shielded area, but do not have any direct relation to the fallout radiation.

 

My second question concerns the effects of a continious flow of gamma radiation externally, as the waves are short but will travel until they act upon another force (namely chemicals, and other EMR of the same wavelength?), will this continious flow of varying but very short wavelengths have a more detrimental effect on the external chemicals than it will stopping any gamma radiation entering the area, as most emitted rays will eventually hit the ozone layer and be deflected back , never escaping and as such just creating greater and greater levels or instability?

 

A final question to summize, if fighting fire with fire only burns down the house faster (the gamma shield being a void idea), is there any other EM process that can sheild from radiation, such as having a huge electro magnetic field generated over the area with very high levels of energy and polarity rotating at speeds fast enough for the flux to deflect the fallout or have 2 EM fields, one contained within the other, that have opposite polarity. (Im only mentioning the polarity because the the sphere will only be half its full size, given it doesnt neccesarilly have to go underground as i presume the fallout radiation wouldnt pass through earth).

 

Thats about it, i realize its not the easiest to read as i've been asking questions as they arrise and not in template form and also i obviously have lack of knowledge regarding EMR, quantum physics and various other aspects so some of this may be regarded as obvious or dumb. Also it's rather lengthy for substanance required to answer it so many regards to anyone whos able to read through it all.

 

Thanks in advance.

radiation could easily or possibly be contained if you knew the source or the make-up of the radiation for instance if you knew the exact make-up or what ever......you could possibly synthesis it to another state. Synthesis in terms of pro-create. For instance, if you knew the material was able to be bound to lets say another form of matter you could easily do it that way, but what is scary is. What if organic material was able to be synthesized into a form of free energy for say. Like you had a radioactive particle that when touched or passed through a certain frequency it became animated or controlled by this frequency. crazey right. Not only could it be once in electrical form but it than could be transferred digitally or even synthesis into an actually freaking piece of software and than distributed any where possible.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. You might be better off asking more basic questions before getting into possible applications.

 

"the instability of the sum of the ionized radiation is counter acted" is particularly confusing. Do you mean ionizing radiation, or the ions? What instability are you talking about?

 

Why does the path have to be a parabola?

 

 

Secondly, radiation shielding (en masse):

Emitting gammas isn't going to shield against incoming gammas.
