The link above includes a closeup of the box, cut open, which gives a better view of what is surrounding the core: http://matslew.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/dsc_0025_600px_matslewan.jpg In the picture there is a thin metal case and a thick layer of something that looks like asbestos. I'm going to guess that this setup would not be good at stopping high-intensity x-rays, although it would probably stop some. This is another indication that my speculation that there were high levels of radiation that need to be shielded was incorrect. If so, this would better match what we saw with Rossi's last demo.
