Couldn't this be curbed by better radiation shielding on the plane itself?

- scythe 7y agoNot necessarily. Photons at Compton-dominant energies (200-5000 keV) can’t be effectively shielded because every material (including, eg, lead) absorbs them about the same. Also, shielding is inevitably heavy.
