Earth background is .3uSv/hr = .00003rad/hr.... rads halved by 7cm of h2o shielding... Surface rads at 360 rads/hr... 360*(.5)^x = 3E-5 -> 3E-5/360=.5^x

Log(12E6^-1) / Log(.5) = x

x = ~23.5

23.5 * .07m = ~ 1.65 meters of ice.

So TLDM : If you stay under about 1.7 meters of ice (maybe a little more due to density concerns) you should only experience normal earth background radiation... on paper.

Any astronauts on the moon at that time would have died from radiation. As NASA's new lunar missions progress, the threat of radiation still looms. by EricFromOuterSpace

Yeah, but the lander equipment still needs to be functional afterwards as well.

I mean, it's that or see society destabilize and collapse as the rich non- workers have to cope with not having a working class providing them services.
