Mining Lead Ore and Crafting Anti Radiation Armor
guide
A 
Lead Ingot in Create Nuclear is a heavy dense metal essential for fabricating anti-radiation hazard suits, containment casings, and nuclear reactor shielding.
Prospecting and Mining Lead Deposits
Acquiring lead begins by surveying subterranean rock layers across the Overworld:
- Search underground cave walls and ravines between Y levels zero and eighty to locate veins of
Lead Ore. - In deeper subterranean strata below Y level zero, mine the tougher dark veins of
Deepslate Lead Ore. - Mine the ore blocks using a stone pickaxe or better to collect raw chunks of
Raw Lead. - Mining lead veins with Fortune pickaxes increases raw chunk drops, accelerating armor and shielding production.
- Compress nine raw lead chunks in a crafting grid into a
Raw Lead Block for organized warehouse storage. - Establishing an automated branch mine around Y level forty yields a steady supply of raw lead for atomic projects.
Smelting Lead Ingots and Crafting Blocks
Refining raw mineral chunks into usable metal ingots is straightforward:
- Smelt chunks of Raw Lead or mined Lead Ore inside a furnace or blast furnace to produce a Lead Ingot.
- Process
Crushed Raw Lead from kinetic crushing lines to extract ingots with potential bonus yields. - Combine nine ingots in a crafting table to forge a dense, blast-proof
Lead Block. - Break down ingots into individual
Lead Nugget pieces when delicate fasteners are needed for instrumentation. - Dense lead blocks absorb ambient radiation emissions, making them ideal for lining reactor containment walls.
Fabricating Anti-Radiation Hazmat Suits
Handling enriched uranium and spent fuel rods without protective apparel inflicts lethal radiation sickness:
- Combine a Lead Ingot with woven
White Cloth at a crafting table to tailor protective 
Anti Radiation Boots. - Craft advanced dark protective gear including the
Black Anti Radiation Helmet using 
Black Cloth, a Lead Ingot, and 
Reinforced Glass. - Assemble the heavy
Black Anti Radiation Chestplate by combining Black Cloth, a Lead Ingot, and a structural 
Graphite Rod. - Wearing a full suit of lead-lined anti-radiation apparel provides total immunity to ambient reactor radiation.
- Full lead hazard gear also shields against hazardous fallout when clearing irradiated debris from reactor meltdowns.
