Depends on type of radiation:
- Alpha - completely blocked by a sheet of paper or your skin, about 1 inch in air
- Beta - can penetrate flesh about 1/2 inch, blocked by most metals
- Gamma, X-Rays - can pass through anything but attenuates faster in denser materials
- Neutrons - can pass through anything, attenuates little except by strong neutron absorbers like boron and cadmium
- UV, Light, IR - travels long distances in air, blocked by opaque materials, ignites dark colored materials
