@Ewumm Maybe a layer of graphene.

Faraday cages need to be conductive to work properly. A person at the same potential as the surroundings is safe. It's only when they gain a differential charge that a shock becomes risky.

@human_isomer All heavy elements are chemically toxic. Natural uranium is only slightly radioactive but if you were using enriched it could become a problem.

@andretokayuk8100 Except much dust will get blown away from the explosion. Light photons at the levels made by a nuke have the power to blow dust away from the explosion. Under The Moon's low gravity and zero atmosphere that dust will circle for weeks. Much of it will fall back to where it came. Then there's the fallout. Radiation can be shielded against but radioactive particles will get carried on space suits and equipment and will contaminate the people using them.

The equivalent weight of a few million cars (whatever that means) is frankly not a lot of water. If it’s used for anything other than life support it’s likely to be used up very rapidly. I cubic metre = 1 ton = 1 car (near enough). You can get that from one lake on earth.
