gamma rays is the correct answer since... gamma rays donot consist of charged particles.... and therefore there is no  force to attract or  repel. it..as a result it penetrates the most...

Gamma rays.

Was exposed to them in 1955 at the Nevada Test Site, 
near Shot MET's tower on Frenchman's Flat while acting as a radiation monitor for two scientists looking for the remains of their experiment. 

Gamma rays are very penetrating.  As I recall it takes a 1/2 inch thick lead slab to cut down their energy 1/2.
