Aren't humans already reasonable radiation hard? Cells are full of error correction. I would have thought with greater tolerance than an off the shelf chip.

I'm being rather vague with my defitions admittedly.

Yes, we are "reasonable radiation hard" optimised for the conditions on earth and the quite low radiation we get here.

But even so, cancer is a real threat, so increase radiation dosis and you will increase cancer rates. Along with long term dna damages and other perks.
