The CUORE Detector located under Gran Sasso uses lead from a Roman shipwreck in its experiments as radioactive-free shielding in its hunt for neutrinos https://t.co/19M31LnxtV

“What makes the ingots equally valuable to physicists is the fact that over the past 2,000 years their lead has almost completely lost its natural radioactivity.” https://t.co/fJdGFsKZW7 / via @witiza

@justinbuist @shannonmstirone Right, which gets used in particle physics experiments: https://t.co/zajBCZvH7Z But I'm not sure why you'd do that for spacecraft, which are bathed in radiation anyway.

Lead from Roman shipwrecks is critical in detectors that will help us understand why there is so little antimatter in the universe. https://t.co/geS0T4wQdL

@whitequark @not_ky0ko Even using Lead shielding might not have helped. Low radioactivity Lead is in short supply. They recover it from Roman wrecks because of it's low radioactivity :-) -> https://t.co/bTBh9libiI

@juliagalef Similar problem for medical/research use lead (although in this case it's a natural radioactive isotope). https://t.co/5X2ZSh8MlC

Last RT: True! Roman ingots of lead are recovered for physics experiments as they have had time to decay http://t.co/4Gx3Kxif2j very cool
@Riderius Unrelated to those tests. Lead-210 itself is radioactive with a half-life of 22 years. http://t.co/HbUdC2ta0T

Not due to atomic bomb tests but because freshly mined lead contains radioactive lead-210 which has a 22yr half-life http://t.co/HbUdC2ta0T
