The dust itself would have to be something highly radioactive like uranium. Radiated silica isn't going to get into you and cause real issues.

Couldn't irradiated silica dust get into your lungs though?
If you're breathing silica dust you're going to get silicosis anyway, so there's not much point worrying about it.

Maybe the living area buildings inside the tent can have a vestible / "dustlock" for keeping the dust outside, and outside those it just becomes standard to wear a dust mask.
