They aren't going to address it because it isn't an actual problem that needs to be addressed. You have far, far more to worry about with radon gas seeping up through cracks in your own home's foundation than a trivially-higher amount of cosmic radiation plinking you for 2-3 hours. BTW, it's the density of a material which offers radiation protection, not solely whether it's a metal or not.
- godelski 10y agoI disagree. Concord crew surpassed US and EU regulations for allowed dosages (see my post above). Different materials have different attenuation lengths. So it isn't just density. Especially if we get into the whole neutron problem. But I'm keeping this brief: materials make a huge difference.
