Section: claims

1. A method to shield radiation, comprising:adding a bitumen substance to radioactive waste to create a bitumen-radioactive waste mixture;filling a container with the bitumen-radioactive waste mixture; andcoating the container with a sealant or paint that includes leaded glass particles which have diameter sizes of less than or equal to 2 millimeters. 2. A method for providing a radiation shield, comprising:acquiring leaded glass particles having diameter sizes of less than or equal to 2 millimeters;mixing the glass particles with a bitumen substance to produce a bitumen-glass particle mixture; andcoating a product with the bitumen-glass particle mixture. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein mixing further includes mixing the bitumen-glass particle mixture with at least one of paint, a sealant, cement, adhesive, and plastic. 4. The method of claim 2 wherein coating further includes covering radioactive waste with the bitumen-glass particle mixture, wherein the radioactive waste is the product. 5. The method of claim 2 wherein coating further includes covering a surface of a container with the bitumen-glass particle mixture, wherein the container houses radioactive waste and wherein the container is the product. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein covering further includes spraying or brushing the bitumen-glass particle mixture onto the surface. 7. The method of claim 5 wherein covering further includes dipping the container into a bath of the bitumen-glass particle mixture. 8. A radiation shielding system comprising:a bitumen substance;radioactive waste, wherein the bitumen substance is mixed with the radioactive waste to create a bitumen-radioactive mixture; andleaded glass particles having diameter sizes of less than or equal to 2 millimeters, wherein the glass particles are coated onto an outer surface of the bitumen-radioactive mixture. 9. The radiation shielding system of claim 8 wherein the leaded glass particles are coated onto a surface of a container that houses the bitumen-radioactive waste mixture. 10. The radiation shielding system of claim 9 wherein the leaded glass particles are treated to remove surface heavy metals before the surface of the container is coated with the leaded glass particles.
