The requirements for radiation doses depend on various factors such as the anatomical part<br />

exposed, age and gender of the astronauts. The limits taken as a reference for the different<br />

anatomical parts are listed in Table 2-1:<br />

Figure 2-8 shows the maximum radiation dose levels allowable depending on the crew age and<br />

gender, for the BFO. The selection of the age of the astronauts plays a very important role in the<br />

dose tolerance and, therefore, in shielding mass. According to the calculations, no extra shielding<br />

is required for the case of a 55-year-old male while 13 g/cm 2 are required for a 25-year-old<br />

woman.
