The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor's explosions has sadly dispersed radioactive core material over a large area contaminating soil and water. Isotopes such as Cesium 137 have long half lives and emit penetrating gamma and beta radiation. Common materials such as shoes and clothing does not stop this radiation. Rocky Flats Gear has designed a 1mm thick lead free protective shoe insert with a 0.25mm Pb equivalent. More protection is done with additional layers if shoe size permits. www.rockyflatsgear.com
