Abstract: Radiation Detection and Protection Chamber with Melanin Shielding, Scanning, and Decontamination Mechanisms This invention describes a radiation detection and protection chamber designed to safeguard individuals in radiation-prone zones. The chamber includes two tanks and a partition, with two entries and exits for controlled access. One tank utilizes a microbial process to produce water-soluble melanin, which is showered onto individuals to create a protective nanoshell layer against radiation. The second chamber employs an advanced scanning mechanism to detect and decontaminate individuals with potential radiation exposure using an X-ray detector array integrated with digital imaging and processing. The system combines melanin’s natural radiation resistance properties with precise detection and decontamination capabilities, ensuring comprehensive safety for personnel working in hazardous environments.
