* In ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' and its sequel, you can find hazmat suits which give significant protection against radiation and toxic hazards. The FlavourText in the sequel states these suits also provide protection against vacuum, but that's questionable since you can still get radiated and poisoned while wearing them (but not as much as without).

* In ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' and its sequel, ''VideoGame/SystemShock'', you can find hazmat suits which give significant environmental protection suits that can protect against radiation and toxic hazards. biological contamination. The FlavourText in first version protects only against radiation hazards, reducing your exposure to one-quarter as long as you have power for it, while the sequel states second version adds biological protection at the same rate. You're never ''required'' to get either version, but given that you will be required to roam around the highly radioactive reactor chamber and the [[spoiler:horribly contaminated Beta Grove]], you'll probably want them. [[spoiler:SHODAN's room on the Bridge is also heavily irradiated.]] The remake changes these to semi-experimental "hazard field generators", that are worn like a backpack and use an energy shield to protect you. They work just fine, but they were designed to replace the full enviro-suits; due to SHODAN's machinations, the suits also provide were disposed of ''before'' enough generators were available, resulting in a lot of sickness and death.

** Which are, ironically, basically ''the same thing'' even now (at most the antirad suits will have a polythene liner protecting from neutrons), and certainly were exactly same in TheSixties. That's because nothing short of a solid lead wall could protect a human from the radiation of the live nuclear reactor, wearing which on oneself would've been just a little bit ''impractical''. Thus antirad suits mainly concentrate on preventing the contact with the loose radioactive material.
* Worn in ''Film/{{Outbreak}}''. Because, well... if they didn't, they'd all discover quite a bit about the disease a little ''too'' personally.

* The Japanese mini-series ''The Days'' has a problem that's not often raised with this trope--the breathing masks and protective suits can only be used once as they become contaminated by radiation. The workers have to scour the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (which is without power and filled with wreckage from the tsunami and earthquake) for any spare equipment they can find. Plant manager Yoshida has a rare outburst of temper when the emergency centre at Tokyo [[ObstructiveBureaucrat refuses to send extra masks and hazmat suits]] on the helicopter taking the Prime Minster there for an inspection.
