For the Hiroshima bomb, an air burst 1,800-2,000 feet (550-610m) above the ground was chosen "to achieve maximum blast effects, and to minimize residual radiation on the ground as it was hoped U.S. troops would soon occupy the city".

It is placed under so much rock to minimize extraneous radiation; neutrinos easily pass through rock.

This structure has the effect of minimizing radiation and wavelengths at frequencies which may be harmful to the patient.

This minimizes infra-red radiation, again to maximize the heat in the interior.

The lamp has a Colour Rendering Index up to 98, and minimizes infrared and ultraviolet radiation which could otherwise degrade the painting.

Modern radiation therapy techniques introduced in the 1990s minimized deep radiation to the underlying myocardium when left-sided chest wall or left-breast radiation was used.

In principle, the Helium-3-Deuterium reaction or an aneutronic fusion reaction could be used to maximize the energy in charged particles and to minimize radiation, but it is highly questionable whether it is technically feasible to use these reactions.

To minimize radiation from space, the experiment was conducted underground in the Homestake gold mine at Lead, S.D.
