lead shielding exists, it stops the charged electrons, and 40 millions times the energy isnt that much when you are talking about near weightless particles

X-ray radiation is massless and it easily goes through thin lead vests, etc. It's not even a particle.

Doctors give you an x-ray vest, and they GTFO of the room. Cause the vest is doing very little.

Cosmic rays are many, many, many orders of magnitude more energetic than x-rays.

40,000,000 is +7 orders of magnitude more powerful than the most powerful device on Earth.

There's many more orders of magnitude between the LHC and a doctor's x-ray camera.

The lead won't help.
