Level 8 radiation gear

Level 8 radiation gear is a type of protection used by Space Pirates that is alluded to in a scan in Metroid Prime. It is said in the scan that it is used as protection from Phazon radiation in Phazon processing areas. The gear is not directly seen in the game, unless the exoskeletons of Pirates near Phazon-rich areas of the Phazon Mines represent it. This is unlikely as in rooms such as the Phazon Processing Center, Pirates who are knocked into the Phazon are instantly killed.
This technology can be considered a precursor to the Hazard Shield, as both protect from the damaging effects of Phazon exposure. However, the Hazard Shield is more advanced as it can also protect against Acid Rain and Fuel Gel.

"Health Alert: Phazon radiation warning is still in effect. Do not enter a Phazon processing area without Level 8 radiation gear. Prolonged exposure is 100% fatal."
