Radiation protection


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Even if the radiation mechanisms are going to be changes in the future, I think having a topic about the protection against radiations stay a good idea. I share here my tests.

RANGE :
 
With the shine bugs and the wheezewort, the range of radiation are 5 squares in line and 4 squares in diagonal.

Having  more radiation sources in the same square increases the power of the radiations, but not their range.

BUILDING OR WILD :

The tiles are way more efficient to protect against the radiations.

The dentity of material give a better protection, but the temperature have not effect on it.

PROTECTION EFFICIENCY :

Every element offer a different absorption capacity.
Every square absorb a percentage of radiation from the source, and every next square offer a similar percentage of absorption (but not perfectly linear).

Therefore, the density doesn't seem to offer a linear protection. See bellow my test with tiles of 200 kg (obsidienne and graphite), and 400kg.

That's interesting.  I would have expected that doubling the density from Tile->InsulatedTile would have made a difference.

Have you tried the same with Metal Tiles?  I'm especially curious how good Lead and Depleted Uranium are at shielding.

I tried with tiles in copper, but not with all the elements.. I will continue my tests and probably make a list of better and worst protection.

I will probably do some tests like that. If lava is efficiency, it could be an opportunity for some funny setups :lol:

I tried tempshift plates and drywall. They offer no protection. Pneumatic doors, mesh tiles and airflow tils are also useless.

Here is some new datas.

I tested almost all liquids (except some elements like molten tungsten).

I builted a 1 square room with airflow tiles.

The results :

The top 3 are liquid hydrogen, liquid carbon dioxine and molten lead.
Therefore, the water and/or the crude oil seem to be the more econome and accessibles options.

I also tested other configurations, with different squares of water and density.

With the liquids, the density doesn't seem to affect the aborption of the radiation. To have a better protection, you must increase the thickness of your "liquid wall".

Here is my tests with. As before, i build a tile in space and observe the absorption capacity.

The more efficients tiles are the one build in graphite, plastic, lead and depleted uranium.

So the only problem with that is low melting points..

Graphite - 276,9C , Plastic - 159,9C , Lead - 327,2C , Depleted uranium - 132,9C

 

More durable materials = less radiation absorption ... Thanks Klei! :lol:

Could try tile, gaseous element, tile.

Easy enough to make using hydrogen since it's aways rising anyway.

Think like sideways chimney to start.

I used three insulated igneous under my solar cells and brought radiation down, although now that I think about it. Might be able to make a better corridor below it with.

I'm surprised how little variance there is in effectiveness.  Lead, DU and Graphite are really only a little bit more effective than Igneous Rock tile while being much more resource-intensive.

A three tile thickness of Igneous Rock tile is more effective (and much cheaper) than two tiles of Graphite or Lead.

It is surprising how lead can only block like 70% radiation, considering how thick a lead tile is. It should block at least 95%, imo.

Its radiation from special reactor RBMK-1000, extra strong, dear comrade :biggrin-new:

Perhaps we could create special Pacu Vaseline Paste, which gives a paste treated tile additional 22% on to the 70%.
