Is it even possible?

It sounds kind of speculative, to the point of being far-fetched. If we can't even make the metallic hydrogen, it doesn't seem reasonable to talk about binding it to anything, much less something like nanotubes, which are themselves still pretty new. I certainly wouldn't then suggest this as a really viable form of radiation shielding in a practical discussion.

I mean, "metallic hydrogen nanotube composite shielding," sounds rather like, "unobtainium," or, "adamantium."
