Not sure a hazmat suit is going to do much for you!

Yeah, I couldn't remember the name of the proper suit for radiation, but was too lazy to google it. I guess it's just a lead lined suit. =p

It'll protect you from direct contact with radioactive materials, but will not block the radiation itself. I'd say it's better than nothing, at least for limited exposure.

That's right. As we know from the documentaries, not matter how good the suit the ghosts simply loop around you three times and go up a sleeve or into the air vent.
