I meant the most you can get with a 10 kW hot fusion reaction. A few might get through but they would be hidden in the background noise from other sources. They could not cause health problems. Obviously if the reactor is as powerful as the sun, 1 m is not enough. I visited an underground linear accelerator on the campus at Hokkaido U. They have doors of 1 m thick lead. The door is mounted on railroad tracks. - Jed
