What is required to shield alpha particles and why are those materials effective?
Larthees
Really thin things, like 5mm of paper, are thick enough to shield aplha particles. That is because the energy force that moves the particle isn't strong enough to resist the obstacle.

What are three primary techniques for minimizing exposure to radiation and radioactive materials?
One is to stay away from it. Proximity is important. Another is to keep the exposure time as short as possible. A third way is to use an effective shield. This is very important. The actual nature of the shield is also very important, and depends on the nature of the radiation involved. Alpha particles can be shielded with almost anything, as long as they are not ingested or inhaled - they can be stopped by a piece of paper. Beta particles and gamma particles require a bit more, but can be shielded by materials with high atomic numbers, such as lead. Neutrons are not well shielded by lead, but are well shielded by water.
