lead
Alpha Radiation ( α ) – Least penetration. Will be blocked by a single sheet of paper. Beta Radiation ( β ) – More penetration than alpha. Blocked by a few mms aluminium. Gamma Radiation ( µ ) – Strong penetration. Needs a least a few inches of lead to block.

It is the lightest element.
Barium comes from the Greek word "heavy" or barys, Davy added the "ium" to name the heavy element, Barium

Heavy metals as lead retain nuclear radiations.

Because lead is a heavy element with a large atomic nucleus, it is effective at absorbing radiation; in addition, it's quite affordable (as compared to using gold, for example, which is also a heavy element).
The material that is most usually used to stop radiation is lead. Lead is composed of large atoms, being a heavy element with a high atomic number, and it is therefore quite opaque to radiation of all sorts. There are many other heavy elements which can stop radiation, however, lead is the most easily available. You can use platinum as well, but it is thousands of times more expensive than lead.
Lead being a heavy element is a good absorber of radiation, so provides protection to vital organs of the body
