This radiation worry is not mine. I think individuals should be allowed the right to calculate the risks themselves.

You and Raoul have both suggest the solution is hunker down with a layer of regolith between you and the surface. Why do you think people would want to travel to the Moon to hangout in a vault?

The solution could be raise the exposer allowed or find better protection schemes for surface activities. M2P2 offers some idea as to what could be designed, but it requires power and can fail. NASA is looking for perfect solutions where non can be found.

Anyway long duration activites don't have to happen on the Moon, thus they probably will not happen. It is a matter of risks that NASA sees no need to take over the danger they add.
