its something to do with gamma rays or omega or alpha or whatever, they can go through certain materials based in their width

i.e. common thin walls don't stop radiation

correct me if im wrong You require a few feet of concrete or lead to prevent radiation from penetrating. ^ that is correct and if im not mistaken most outside walls doors and windows have lead that prevent gamma rays and radiation Maybe the paint could be lead based, and may block some, but its not thick enough to prevent rads. good point but wondows and the buildings have lead in it especially 1930s kingstreet i thought that radiation goes through all stuff but a lot of it can block it

like 1cm of lead is required to block 50% of gamma rays

500 feet of air can reduce gamma rays by 50%
