@Mott-The-Hoople saidI know what I measured. A scintillator measures radiation pretty good and the amount of stray radiation went down a lot more than half. The reason I used the aluminum is because it was hanging around in the cleanroom not being used and it did the trick to stop 99% of the radiation.
You dont have a clue about the ability of aluminum to block radiation. A stone would have been Better than aluminum.
Aluminum has a halving value of 2.7. With you working in this environment you would think you know this.😂
A Halving value is how radiation blockage is calculated.

You want to cast yourself as a radiation expert, you need to have a better education than sucking up google links.
I dealt with radiation for 30 years working cleanrooms and ion implanters which does produce a lot of radiation if not handled right. Like the electric acceleration rings accelerate the ions and that generates radiation which we mostly cured by using powered lead in the accel rings, which in some machines runs near 500,000 volts of accel and one really big one did several megavolts of accel.
So we had to monitor those units also and it was a bit disturbing to see just how much radiation flew out of those implanters.
But I am sure you will find some ion implanter links on google to prove me wrong, good luck with that one. Nothing works as well as decade after decade of working in cleanrooms all around the word including teaching ion implanter physics in classroom lessons, that was Israel, at Intel in Jerusalem.
Go on, google ion implanters and see how much you will trip me up here. Good luck. Without googling it you wouldn't even know what the big three dopants are used in ion implantation and WHY those three are mainly the ones used and why ion implanters are not as important now than 20 years ago.
@AverageJoe1 saidNobody says he will be in chains inside a max security prison even thought that is EXACTLY where he belongs, At best Trump will get a sentence picking up trash on the highways for a couple of weeks, but if it had been you or I we would STILL be in prison.
Ha here's sonhouse on Chapter 19 of the Jan 6 Sagas.
Let us put this prediction in our journals, that Trump will be in chains on the '34 felonies' of Trump!!!! 34 journal entries on the same matter. Like if i do my granny in with 34 stab wounds, is that one felony, or 34?
Ohhhhhsonhouse.............................

@Mott-The-Hoople saidIt sounds like the amount of shielding that cuts the rads in half, I assumed that was what you were talking about after you clarified. Which is why what I measured represented a 99% reduction in radiation getting through that aluminum plate. It might have been stainless steel but I remember aluminum. Regardless I could MEASURE the difference with and without shielding.
You don’t even know what a halving value is…stop your damned lying.
Measurement is better than theory you SEE what you get immediately.
So now you are a physicist BESIDES being a MAGAT propagandist. So tell me, what was your thesis?
@Mott-The-Hoople saidLike Trump wouldn't mind destroying working conditions for ALL Americans.
What's it called when the central govt. controls (FED)workers?
seems you left a word out to deceive the truth
@moonbus saidAs always.
It's a blatant power grab. This will put corporations in the mindset to do the same to their own workers, with Trump's and Musk's blessing. Anyone who still thinks Trump is protecting the interests of the little guy and the working man is deluded.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidA "power grab" for the workers?
Unionization is your power grab.
It's called justice. It's called survival.
@moonbus saidYeah.
As far as he is concerned, people who actually WORK for a living are losers and suckers. He lives on bank loans, other people's money.
"I don't get it, what's in it for them?"
AvJoe talks a good game against people who need help, but he lets billionaires like Trump continue looking out only for themselves.
He actually thinks the little people out there could become rich if only they listened to a man who only cares for himself. He's not right in the head.
@Suzianne saidthe little people can become rich...that is what escapes you
Yeah.

The poor do not get rich. Certainly not by working harder. Study after study has shown that repeated tax cuts for the rich, on the pretext of 'spurring growth' do not spur growth--what spurs growth is demand, not tax cuts. Tax cuts just let the rich keep on getting richer. I cite one example below, there are literally scores of other studies which reach the same conclusion (it is a long article, but full of details):
quote
Republicans claimed that the 1980s tax cuts would stimulate so much economic activity that tax receipts and budgets wouldn’t suffer. But by the end of the eight-year Reagan presidency, revenues were an unprecedented $1.3 trillion short of federal spending. That was more than three times the deficits for the eight years before Reagan — combined.
...
In 1993, with his party controlling the House and Senate, Clinton proposed raising taxes to deal with deficits and offset Reagan-era tax cuts, settling on a package that raised the top rate from 31% to 39.6%. Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits condemned the increase and warned that it would hurt the economy. “It will kill jobs, kill businesses and yes, kill even the higher tax revenues that these suicidal tax increasers hope to gain,” said Rep. Christopher Cox, a California Republican.
Rather than tanking, the economy took off. The seven years that followed represented what was then the longest sustained period of economic growth in the nation’s history. Tax revenues soared, prompting three straight years of budget surpluses under Clinton — the only time that’s happened in the past half century.
The Clinton-era top rate and surpluses didn’t last long. The federal government began running deficits again after President George W. Bush put through two tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.
...
The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service reached essentially the same conclusion in 2012 that tax cuts don’t spur growth but do increase income inequality. After Senate Republicans heatedly objected to the report, CRS withdrew it.

The charts say it all: the wealthiest 10% have far outstripped the lower and middle classes, over time. Wealth inequality has increased dramatically, and during Trump's tenures far more so than in previous administrations.
