Could some of NASA’s solutions, also, be tested by those on Earth, who are/will be working at any of the world’s nuclear accident cleanup sites?

Ummmmm, yeah, I’ll just ignore the 800 pound gorilla sitting right over there.

Nope. Silly idea (except for a marginal improvement).
It takes mass: to protect from radiation, meteorites, whatever.

Any low-weight spacecraft is only good for a brief trip.

Good luck. No accident that almost every astronaut who spent any time in space has died of cancer. Space is bathed in heavy radiation.

Deinococcus radiodurans can take more than 500 times the radiation of humans - they overgrow and clog the plumbing in nuclear reactors, if not chemically controlled.

[marron]

Can a magnetic field be generated to surround the craft that would deflect radiation?

What humanity needs is not Radio Resistance but TV Resistance.
Ba-dum-tsss.

“screening for individuals who may be genetically predisposed to radioprotection”
And if those found are only ones with Downs or Mongolism...what then?
