I'm pretty sure the moon is already being bombarded with all sorts of nasty radiation.


Ha. Excellent point.

I would guess that radioactive particles on the surface would be different that radioactive bombardment from space. You could shield your shelter from space, but if the soil had radioactive particles in it, then you couldn’t bring it in your shelter. For that matter, you would also have to shield the floor, or at least remove a layer of soil. You might have to do that anyway to build a foundation.

If it isn’t obvious, I don’t know what I am talking about.
