This specification presents methods of containing/absorbing alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, and neutron radiation using Fullerene molecules employing the resonant relativistic absorption phenomena based on a frequency dependant Doppler effect. Radioactive atoms, ions, and molecules (Xrad) are encapsulated in a variety of Fullerene molecules (C60, onions, nanotubes, and capsules). The resulting radioactive material-holding Fullerene complexes (Xrad@Cn) will either decrease the intensity of escaping internally-generated radioactive emissions or, in certain optimal cases, absorb and/or contain all such internally-generated radioactive emissions which occur as the radioactive material decays.
