Of the normally known types of radiation, (Alpha, Beta and Gamma), Gamma radiation is the most penetrative.
However, Neutrino radiation is the most penetrative radiation of all, it will pass right through the planet with no trouble. Neutrinos however do not harm you as they pass.

What type of radiation is the hardest to shield against?
gamma
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
What is nuclear transmission?
Nuclear transmission is that measurement of amount of radiation found inside of a shield versus the outside. The transmission is the amount of radiation that is received by passing through the protective shield.
What radiation is hardest to stop?
Well It would most likely be gamma rays (gamma radiation) as it takes a wall of concrete several meters thick to stop them 2nd answer: Another form of radiation results in the emission of neutrinos, which are said to have no mass. As a result, they can whiz right through the earth, not to mention humans.
What are the dangers of neutron radiation?
Neutron radiation is as dangerous as any other ionizing radiation, if not more dangerous,as by some sources, it can be as many as ten times more dangerous as other ionizing radiation. It is not directly ionizing radiation, since neutrons do not hold electric charge, but they interact (collide) with nuclei in it's path, creating isotopes, most of the time non-sable, radioactive isotopes. That is why neutron radiation induces a secondary radiation in the material it passes through. The penetration of neutron flux is rather strong, and is not affected by the shield density, as is the case with gamma radiation, but rather by a material rich with Hydrogen (deuterium) atoms, since H atoms contain one single proton/neutron, and the collision physics slow down the neutrons in this matter most efficiently. Therefore, heavy water, plexiglass, plastics and similar materials are used as an effective shield in neutron radiation protection.

What kind of radiation May require thick radiation shield?
tang ina nio
Can bases used as radiation shield?
If you think to hydroxides - no.
How do scientists shield themselves from products of particle accelerators?
Thick concrete walls will shield most radiation.
Does the ozone layer act like a shield to protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Yes it does. It acts as a shield.
What is nuclear transmission?
Nuclear transmission is that measurement of amount of radiation found inside of a shield versus the outside. The transmission is the amount of radiation that is received by passing through the protective shield.
What gas is called the natural shield against the radiation?
Ozone shields against incoming UV radiation
What molecule acts as a shield to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is?
Molecules act as a shield to ultraviolet rays. These molecules are ozone.
What is adequate to shield against grammar radiation?
A decent sized dictionary.
How the atmosphere acts as shield from harmful radiation from outer-space?
the ozone layer
What gas acts as a shield against the suns ultra violet radiation?
ozone
