The analysis of the Apollo radiation environment concentrates on solar flare particle events. These particles are the major radiation hazard to Apollo. The flux of cosmic rays is too low to be significant, and the passage of the space- craft through the Van Allen belts is fast enough to keep the dose to a low level.
