nothing personal, but you need to do some basic math...how many tons of lead does it take to conceal 1 pound of radioactive material....(hint, if you line a 10 foot wide by 10 foot high by 40 foot long trailer with enough lead to shield detection of a 1 foot cube of uranium. there is not a crane large enough in the world to pick it up, let alone load and unload it from a boat) get the hint....

You are right, it’s not personal. What can I say?

Well, I did the math, and according to my calculations, if you put a cf of U in the trailer, and filled the rest of it up with Pb, 3,999 cf, then the cargo would weigh 1,422.23 tons.

The Thialf, a tandem lift crane, can lift 14,200 tons, so our trailer load is about 10% of its lifting capacity. The Mammoet can lift 4,000 tons.

Please feel free to check my calculations.
