The amount of dirt needed to protect from radiation depends on the type and intensity of the radiation. Generally, at least several feet of soil are needed to provide adequate protection from most types of radiation. It is best to consult with a radiation protection expert to determine the exact amount needed based on the specific circumstances.

Particle radiation is pretty puny, so even a few sheets of newspaper would do. So much for the Moon Hoax believers who think it would take 6 feet of lead to protect the astronauts!
